What is distress?
Distress is defined as an unpleasant stress. Distress can be acute (short term), or chronic (long term). Stress can be experienced daily, and depending on that person’s personality they can fight-or-flight the situation making it acute or chronic. Over 43% of American’s suffer from health problems related to stress. To successfully manage the stress in your life, you first need to recognize the potential sources of stress. Potential sources of stress include:
Major Life Changes
Daily Hassles
School- and Job-Related Stressors
Interpersonal Stressors
Social Stressors
Major Life Changes:
Clusters of life changes, particularly those that are perceived negatively, may be linked to health problems in some people. Personality and coping skills, however, are important moderating influences. People with a strong support network and a stress-resistant personality are less likely to become ill in response to life changes that people with fewer resources.
Job-Related Stressors:
Americans rate their jobs as one of the key sources of stress in their lives. Tight schedules and overtime leave less time to exercise, socialize, and engage in other stress-proofing activities. Worries about job performance, salary, and job security and interactions with bosses, coworkers, and customers can contribute to stress. High levels of job stress are also common for people who are left out of important decisions relating to their jobs. When workers are give the opportunity to shape how their jobs are performed, job satisfaction goes up and stress levels go down. If job-related (or college-related) stress is severe or chronic, the result can be burnout, a state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. Burnout occurs most often in highly motivated and driven individuals who come to feel that their work is not recognized or that they are not accomplishing their goals. People in the helping profession- teachers, doctors, social workers, police officers, and so on- are also prone to burnout. For some people who suffer from burnout, a vacation or leave of absence may be appropriate. For others, a reduced work schedule, better communication with superiors, or a change in job goals may be necessary. Improving time-management skills can also help.
Interpersonal and Social Stressors:
Although social support is a key buffer against stress, your interactions with others can themselves be a source of stress. Your relationships may change as you develop new interest and as the course of your life changes.
Other Stressors:
Environmental stressors- external conditions, or events that cause stress- include loud noises, unpleasant smells, industrial accidents, violence, and natural disasters. Internal stressors are found within ourselves, We put pressure on ourselves to reach personal goals and then evaluate our progress and performance. Physical and emotional states such as illness and exhaustion are also internal stressors.
Strategies for Improving Your
Time-Management Skills:
- Set priorities
- Schedule tasks for peak efficiency
- Set realistic goals and write them down
- Budget enough time
- Break up long-term goals and write them down
- Visualize the achievement of your goals
