;s world chances are that your environment is probably
fast-paced (at least more so than it has previously been) and
as such stress is an ever-present possibility just lurking
around the corner.
As much and as many conveniences and time savers as technology
provides for us, this =EBjust in time’ world in which we now live
- with computers and a host of other modern technologies -
although a great benefit – they also are the source of quicker
deadlines, instant notification of bad news and more
communication to deal with=D6 in other words=D6 a great source for
stress.
Even knowing this, no one is going to slow down the world (or
probably themselves), and in reality most of us would not want
to. At the same time, it’s helpful to realize that with more
technology come more options. Some of those options allow us to
find new ways to deal with the internal and external factors
that can form the basis of stress.
If you are one who has a boss who imposes unreasonable
deadlines to meet pointless work milestones, then there is a
stress agent in your life. Technology has enabled many to have
the option now to work from home, or at least not have to been
physically in the office every day. This allows the individual
more work flexible hours during the course of the day and as
such keeps some of life’s daily stresses at a minimum.
Although there are many daily challenges in the modern world,
there are also a variety of new tools and toys to deal with
them. Computers can cause the work to pile up faster, but they
also allow us to get more done with less effort.
The psychology of stress, though relatively speaking is still
in its discovery stage as a science, is beginning to develop a
decent set of working data on neurobiology, nutrition, as well
as a host of other factors relating to stress. Determining the
best and or the most appropriate treatments for stress from
this data will take (and evolve) over time, but each day
progress is being made in this arena.
Even sports and diets have become much more scientific than
they were a just generation or two ago. Even as we learn more
about stress and develop more effective tools to fight stress,
exercise and a proper diet are still recognized as two of the
more important controllable variables in effective strategies
for combating stress.
Certainly there is no shortage of potential stress agents. One
needs to look no further than the nightly newscast. Negativity
and the potential for stress in our lives are all around us and
in today’s world one seems to get no help from the media. We get
home from a stressful day and right there on television is yet
more stress, pain, and woe. And yet we humans endure.
Certainly dealing with difficult problems is difficult.
But that need not lead to chronic stress. The level of stress
that results in one’s life is greatly determined from the
internal viewpoint that the person uses to evaluate the
dilemma. Occasionally the personal conflict between “I must”
and “I can’t” is unavoidable. The key to managing one’s stress
is to use personal tools, perception, and methods available
today to overcome “I can’t” and much more freedom to deny that
“I must.”
Toss the dilemma aside and declare your independence from
stress.
