*SUMMARY*
This Article is basically about how to deal and manage with stress that people get in their daily lives. Stress is not avoidable, but when people get stressed, they can manage it by following some steps and learn how to deal with it. There are 2steps to identify the type of stress and 6strategies people can apply to stress. When people are working on the first 2steps, they first make a "stress journal". In the journal, they need to 'identify the source of stress', means what causes you being stressed and what you think about it. Then, in the next step, you refer to the journal you have written before and identify your current way to deal with the stress. For example, if you have been releasing stress by smoking or drinking alcohol, you need to improve that and find your own healthier way to reduce the stress. To release stress healthily, people need to one (or more) of the following strategies; avoiding unnecessary stress, altering the situation, adapting the stressor, accepting the things you can’t change, making time for fun and relaxation and/or adopting a healthy lifestyle.
