40 Ways to Reduce Stress: Practical, simple, & effective ways to manage and reduce stress.

Stress can be caused by multiple factors. Life stressors include but are not limited to... (1) Work Stress: A new job, job termination, lay off, project deadlines, learning a new skill set, conflict with management, hostile work environment, being overlooked for a promotion, or burnout. (2) School Stress: Test taking, new school environment, peer pressure, conflict with the teacher/ instructor, or difficulty learning the material. (3) Family Life: Marital discord, financial difficulty, single parenting, and domestic violence. Not all stress is bad, such as adjusting to being newlyweds or the birth of a new baby. Good stress, such as project deadlines, can prompt alertness or urgency to meet and complete deadlines, which increases productivity.
