When we\u2019re in super stressful situations, it can seem like the only way through is by toughening up and riding it out. After all, feeling stressed about having too many assignments and no time to do them won\u2019t <\/span>actually <\/span><\/i>change the due date, right?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While this mindset is common, it isn\u2019t necessarily the best way to manage difficult feelings. Ignoring what makes us feel awful doesn\u2019t fix the problem either; it just suppresses it (and makes it more likely to resurface later on). Instead, we\u2019d argue that mastering a few <\/span>stress management techniques<\/span> is the best way to go!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Does <\/span>Stress Management<\/span> Mean?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Implementing <\/span>stress management techniques <\/span>takes a little practice, but the foundation behind the concept is relatively simple. Essentially, <\/span>stress management<\/span> relates to the realisation that you\u2019re in control of your life. By taking steps to <\/span>manage your stress levels<\/span>, identify and disempower your triggers, and find a sense of balance, you\u2019ll be happier, more productive, and much less stressed out. Sounds pretty ideal, right?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While we\u2019d love to say that any of these following techniques could work as a magic bullet solution, it simply isn\u2019t true (disappointing, we know). The reality is that different techniques work for different people, so it\u2019s important to commence your de-stressing journey with an open mind and a willingness to pivot and adjust as necessary. By doing so, you\u2019re setting yourself up with the best possible chance of a stress-free life!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Do We Need to <\/span>Manage Stress<\/span>?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all been there: completely and totally overwhelmed with tonnes of unfinished tasks, encroaching deadlines, and a stomach that feels totally knotted. It\u2019s awful, and we\u2019re sure that if given the choice, anyone would choose to avoid that nasty stressed-out feeling. However, if we don\u2019t practice <\/span>stress management<\/span>, we run the risk of feeling this way <\/span>extremely <\/span><\/i>often; it doesn\u2019t take much for tasks to start piling up!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides the mental issues that stress presents, <\/span>Healthline<\/span><\/a> states that it also impacts our physical body in a variety of gnarly ways, including<\/span> by inducing<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
