Instigating Stress
We should always understand the situation and have
a stress management plan to avoid total failure.
None of us expects to face problems all the time, but, they
just exist. Although we all know that bad things can happen,
but few of us believe that it can happen to ourselves. If
you are one of those few, and when it hits you one day, stress
will come knocking at your door.
Living in this world, we are all exposed to various danger,
harm, failure, rejection, fear, and etc. This is just part
of life and all depend on how well prepared we are to accept
it. It makes a difference whether we are prepared to deal
with stress or not.
American’s are a fine example, since many individuals
in the world thought at one time or believed that it could
not happen to them. It is when disaster finally hit one day,
and they were unprepared and frantically disturbed. If we
look at the how the hurricanes had destroyed entire cities
and, panic took over entire city and affected the world as
well. We can see that stress management was not fully developed.
We need to know that, we need stress management to survive
and to prevent total failure. Stress management is techniques
that are utilized to help us all cope with mental related
problems, which include our fears. Even when we face the worst-cased
scenario, we will know how to cope with it if we learn stress
management techniques.
We should always review the failure in stress management
by over viewing the situations that happen. We can see that
we have no control over natural disasters, however we must
understand that we have resources. The government will often
hold campaigns to help those natural disasters victims. This
seems like a great stress management strategy, but how can
we continue to fight stressful situations.
Natural disasters are seldom predictable and can befall on
us at anytime. If we ehear from weather reports that inform
us a natural disaster may hit the area, would you sit around
and expect nothing to happen?
If you have a well-planned stress management, then you know
it’s time to pack a few belongings, or even have a suitcase
already packed and take your family to a safe area to avoid
the disasters. It’s true that weather forecast may not
be always correct, but why would your risk your life. If a
natural disaster were to take place, it is too late if action
is taken after it hits. Always remember that, panic will only
worsen the situation. Waiting for something to happen can
either harm us or help us. If we always expect best to happen,
and natural disaster is on its way to destruct us, then we
will definitely fail. Therefore, we see we need proper preparation,
planning, decisions, thinking, and stress management to deal
with disastrous stressors.
Forget about natural disaster now.Let’s take a look
at another example where disaster is in view. Visualize that
you are working at a gas station, and a man walks in the door
with a loaded revolver and demands you to give up the money
or die. Have you ever thought about this scenario? What would
you do under such circumstances? Do you have stress management
in place? If not, let me give you a word of advice. When we
talk guns, we are talking for real, since guns potentially
kill.
First of all, we must realize that we are in danger, which
means a stressor is triggered and stress exists. Now, you
should weigh every factor to ensure the safety of everyone.
Keep your eye contact with the person who has gun. Stay firm,
and maintain a direct focus, looking into the person’s
eyes consistency. This will tell the person that you are alert
and paying attention to his or her demands. And, you should
give up your money for your life.
NEVER try to be a hero, everyone faces life or death. You
will see that panicky can harm you now, so, you should always
keep your emotions in control. You might lose your life anytime
if you forget the golden rule. If you think that this will
never happen to you, then you risk your life. So, always be
prepared, keep it real, plan, and manage your stress.
