Sometimes stress management isn’t about
relaxation, better eating, getting a massage, or practicing yoga. The best
stress management strategy might be a better way to solve a stressful problem. Here’s a problem-solving formula to apply to the root of a problem you face
that causes stress: 1) Define the problem; 2) Think of as many ways to
intervene as possible; 3) Select the most practical solution; 4) Write goals to
achieve; 5) Write objectives under each goal; 6) Select deadlines for #4 and
#5; 7) Commit to success (say “no” to distractions and procrastination); and 8)
Begin.
