Physical and mental exertions of a human being are necessary for contributing to livelihood of his family. With the advancement, economic race and emerging social problems at various levels have further aggravated to even otherwise increasing stress in life. Level of stress also varies with mental make up, family circumstances, pressures from society, type of profession, working environment etc. Each of these stress-determining parameters is a complex subtotal of variables. Diversity is the law of nature and no two individuals working under similar circumstances have exactly the same set of such variables. Some people are sensitive to small hurdles while others do not and try to evade, escape and even endure such barriers. Those who are less emotional, you will naturally experience less tension, anxiety, and nervousness. Yet, everyone requires relaxation in terms of leisure, sleep, entertainment, amusement etc such that his working efficiency is enhanced.
Stress management also involves managing work loads and communication, taking frequent breaks with quiet environment and avoiding long and late hours work to avoid stress, for extended periods of time. Although it is rather difficult to change habit, but if possible by improving interpersonal relations a big cause of stress goes off and one becomes more acceptable to oneself and others. Meditation has also been realized as having calming influence on the body, which also reduces an important source of stress. Obviously, meditation has high place of priority as remedial measure of stress management.
