This section of Mind Tools helps you survive the intense stress that can come with a challenging career.
The first articles help you to understand stress and what causes it: This is an important starting point for effective stress management. They introduce you to the three main approaches to stress management, and then shows you how you can identify the key sources of stress in your life.
We then look at a range of stress management techniques. The Mind Tools approach is, where possible, to tackle stress at source. This means that not only do we show you how to cope with the symptoms of stress, we help you deal with the underlying causes as well.
By the end of the section, you should have a clearer understanding of stress and the importance of managing it; you should be able to analyze the points of pressure in your life, so that you can plan to neutralize them; and you will understand how to use a range of different stress management techniques.
Also remember, as you work through, that if you have particular issues in bringing balance to your life, this is where our coaches can help.
