Stress management therapy helps you cope with stressors and connecting with your inner capabilities which are called character strengths.

Make checklists, bring out the planners and take control of your to-do daily. This helps you feel more in control of your life and daily activities and considerably reduces stress. Accomplishing tasks can make you feel positive and happy and less hassled. Wake up each morning with an agenda and stick to it. At the end of the day, look back on everything you have accomplished, and a feeling of satisfaction will follow that leaves very little room for stress. • Reframing - Reframing in activity that involved re-looking at a stressor or a negative situation and breaking it down first and then looking at it in a positive way. When a stressor comes upon us, we get wrapped up in the negatives instead of evaluating it. Reframing is often used as a part of depression therapy by therapists as well. • Learn How To Relax - You cannot possibly learn how to be stress free without first learning how to relax. Some of the most effective relaxation tools include muscle relaxation, imagery, deep and regulated breathing, hypnosis and biofeedback. To relax, you should take control of your body and breaking for it gives you a greater sense of calm. • Use Your Strengths - Everybody has a big strength that most often they don’t acknowledge and don’t use to their advantage. However, it is imperative to first identify your strength and then find new, innovative ways to use those strengths to act on them to reduce stress. A therapist for teens also uses this strategy by helping teenagers identify what they’re good at to boost self-esteem. • Gratitude Is Important - Gratitude plays a very important role in how you feel about life and its blessings. If you are happy and content with life, you will find lesser ways to be stressed or upset with life. If you constantly feel like nothing is enough for you, the stress will always find a way to get under your skin. Expressing spiritual gratitude and counting your blessings on a daily basis helps you to keep up with how much there is to be thankful for in life. Making gratitude a practice helps you keep track of how much there is to be happy about and how little there is to stress about.
