Overview of stress management and resilience
Stress management refers to the wide range of techniques and therapies used to control an individual’s level of stress, particularly chronic stress. While resilience is the capacity to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change. In essence stress management focuses on handling stressors as they raise, while resilience is the broader ability to adapt and thrive despite adversity.
Understanding stress
Stress is a natural physical mental reaction to life’s challenges, demands, or threats. It is not always negative; a moderate level of stress, known as ‘eustress”, can motivate and focus energy. However, overwhelming or chronic stress, called ‘distress” can be detrimental to your well-being.
The relationship between stress management and resilience
Stress management and resilience are deeply interconnected. Stress management techniques ae the skills and tools you use to deal with and mitigate the effects of stress. Resilience is the overall capacity to bounce back from and even grow from difficult experience, which is strengthened by effective stress management.
Building resilience is a dynamic process involving an interplay of biological, psychological and social factors. It is not an inherent trait but can be developed over time through a combination of intentional actions and adaptive behaviors.
