Managing Stress and Fatigue – Article for Everyone

Managing stress and fatigue is often a matter of understanding stress. “Signs and Symptoms, Causes of Stress” is an article by this author that offers simple insights into the true meaning of stress. Whether it is family stress, workplace stress, or stress among children and students, managing stress and fatigue will begin with an understanding that stress is your response to stressors. You may not be able to manage the stressor itself, but you can manage your response. You can respond positively, resulting in beneficial eustress, or negatively, resulting in debilitating distress.

For example, efforts to stop smoking frequently generate a need for managing stress and fatigue. The stress is not the fact that you cannot smoke when you want to smoke. That is the stressor. On the one hand, your response to that stressor can be one of delight that you are finally going to kick the habit. Such a response will be beneficial stress that empowers you to refrain from smoking. On the other hand, your response may be a desire to fight against your determination to quit. You may respond inwardly that it is too difficult and too tiring. You become depressed by the situation. Such debilitating stress, i.e. response to stressors, can cause fatigue.

Managing stress and fatigue is a matter of playing both ends against the middle.

1. Fatigue can often be the cause of stress, since we are less able to respond appropriately when we are tired. Sufficient rest is key in managing stress at any level. Setting regular sleep hours, and adhering to them, can relax the mind, emotions, and physical body, making them ready to deal with stressors.

2. Stress can often be the cause of fatigue. Responding to stressors with debilitating distress drains the body of energy and leaves an individual lethargic. Responding with beneficial eustress fills the body with energy and happiness. Managing stress with eustress will usually result in a reduction of fatigue.

Helpful Tip

Beware of articles on managing stress and fatigue that lead you to believe you can only manage after stress and fatigue have occurred. Many seem to believe that managing stress and fatigue is a matter of locking the barn door after the horse has gotten out and is racing across the fields. Managing stress and fatigue requires a proactive approach. Gain an understanding of stress and fatigue, and build guards into your life so that you can respond with eustress.
