Ans. Stress is our emotional, mental, physical and social reaction to any perceived demands or

example, you are too close to the exams but feel unprepared.

Stress Management is about making a plan to be able to cope effectively with daily pressures. The

ultimate goal is to strike a balance between life, work, relationships, relaxation and fun. By doing

this, you are able to deal with daily stress triggers and meet these challenges head on.

2. List your favorite stress management technique and elaborate why you find it the most

effective.

Ans. The stress management techniques are:

● Time Management - If the time is managed properly there will be no pending tasks to

complete, hence it is the most effective stress relieving technique.

● Physical exercise and fresh air - Doing yoga, meditation and deep breathing exercises

help in proper blood circulation and relaxes the body. Which will help to become more

active.

● Healthy diet - Eating a balanced diet, such as Dal, Roti, vegetables and fruits will give the

strength to do daily work efficiently.

● Positivity - Focussing on negative aspects of life will add more stress. Instead, learn to

look at the good things and stay positive. For example, instead of feeling upset over scoring

less in a test, try to maintain a positive attitude and look at ways to improve the next time.

 

● Organising academic life; no delaying - By keeping class notes organised, finishing in

assignments on time, and keeping track of all deadlines, stress can be reduced to a great

extent.

● Sleep - A good night’s sleep for at least 7 hours helps the brain and body get recharged to

function better the next day.

● Holidays with family and friends - Going to a relative’s place, such as your grandparents’

house or a new place during your summer vacations can help to break from the normal

routine and come back afresh.

important task done first and also to track what is pending.

important things.

our time effectively or not. It also helps us to identify time-wasting activities.
