Managing and using stress to your benefit

It's impossible to live without stress. Stress is an inseparable part of life and it can be a driving force to give you that extra push and motivation when you're gearing up for an important presentation or job interview. The three main causes for stress are financial issues, stress in the workplace and relationship matters and this can give rise to frustrations, conflicts and pressure. Stress makes you:

• Less productive
• Anxious and tense
• Unhappy and irritable
• Distracted and unmotivated
• More prone to hurt your personal and professional relationships

Stress by itself isn't bad - it becomes a negative or positive experience depending on how you perceive it and how well you cope with it. Confronting stress is a skill. Here's how to cope with it and live a happy and productive life:

• Focus on positive thoughts
• Boost your self esteem
• Do relaxation exercises
• Engage in physical activities
• Do meditation
• Do self hypnosis
• Do 7th Path Self Hypnosis
