Organization can help reduce stress and believe it or not, there is an organized way to approach stress that includes identifying stressors and developing healthy ways to cope with stress. Here's some ideas:
1. Identify your current stressors (external, relational, internal)
2. Identify your current coping reactions (helpful, not helpful)
3. Change stressful situations and/or your reactions
4. Increase your positive, healthy coping reactions.
You may also want to assess how you can control stress in different aspects of your life including your body, mind, emotions, your relationships, your social life and leisure time as well as your spirit.
While some stress is normal and can help our growth, when it becomes too much, as completecounseling noted, it can affect our health.
