Q8. Write a precis of about one-third of the passage given
below.Also provide a suitable title to the same : 20Stress is a
fact of life and individuals react to stress in differentways. The
very fact that some individuals deal with stressorsin a positive
way indicates that a proper understanding of thephenomenon and its
effects is very important. Takingappropriate action to optimize,
reduce or prevent stress maybe beneficial both for the organization
as well as the individual.Effective stress management can be done
at the organizationaland individual level in many different
ways.

Stress management can be divided into two phases, the first
iscoping with stress and the second is counteracting the
stressresponse with the help of relaxation response. For coping
withstress there are five major methods: avoidance,
evasion,diversion, preparation and eustress response. In
avoidancemethod the particular stressors are never met. In evasion,
thestressors are evaded or side-stepped so as to postpone
stressreactions. In diversion, one's mind is distracted from
potentialstressors. Diversions can take many forms such as
developinga rewarding hobby like drawing, painting, music,
photography,gardening, reading, writing etc., regularly going to
movies,dramas, hotels; shopping; sports both indoor and outdoor
games;going on trips and vacations, or visiting places of
religiousimportance. In Preparation method, the individual
prepareshimself mentally, nutritionally and physically. In the last
methodof Eustress Response, the individual tries to change
responsefrom distress to eustress with the help of positive and
optimisticmental attitude and regular and regulated physical
exercise.The second phase of effective stress management
iscounteracting stress response. For this the individual tries
toelicit relaxation response simply by having a restful sleep or
takinga nap an individual feels relaxed and is able to counter act
stress-response. There are various techniques to elicit
relaxationresponse. Hess first described relaxation response in a
cat. Heelectrically stimulated a specific area of the hypothalamus
andelicited what he called ... "a protective mechanism
againstoverstress which promotes restorative processes." Walter
R.Hess Functional Organization of the Diencephalons (New YorkGrune
and Stratton, 1975) p. 40 Like the fight or flight response,the
relaxation response is also present in man. Until recently,the
relaxation response has been elicited primarily bymeditational
techniques including self-hypnosis, meditation,biofeedback, yoga
and Breathing exercises. All these techniquesbring out the
physiological change in our bodies when we alterthe state of
consciousness through non-drug means. Proper useof massage, heat
and cold are refreshing and relaxing forcounteracting the stress
response on physical side, when usedwith physical exercise.Beyond
all these measures, the individual has to develop a
stressmanagement philosophy to serve him as a guide. Thecornerstone
to this philosophy is the eustress mental approach.Earning one's
neighbour's love and respect is a major aspect ofthe eustress
mental approach. Another key component is a

positive attitude with optimistic outlook. Developing a sense
ofhumor is an excellent means of effective stress management.Some
tried and tested skills for effective stress managementessentially
emphasize on proper management of time. Inabilityto do this results
in lack of priorities, failure to delegate,inefficiency and
incompetence in task performance. Learning tobe assertive is
equally important. Assertive behavior has fourcharacteristics:
ability to say 'No'; ability to make requests andask favors;
ability to express positive and negative feelings; andability to
generate, continue and terminate discussion. Anothermost crucial
factor is to learn to understand our emotions.Understanding the
anatomy of our anger and learning to controlit is extremely
essential. For managing our anger effectively theclassic advice of
counting numbers to ten has survived forcenturies. When angry all
our energy is spent in being tenseand anxious. Therefore it is
vital to relax and compose ourselves.The body's adaptive energy is
like an inherited fortune. If we goon spending it without making
any deposit, we will squander itaway. If we want it to last longer,
we must learn to use it wisely.Recognizing inevitable and learning
to accept them is yet anotherway to effective stress management.
The individual should learnto come to terms with unpleasant
realities since they are thereto say. Accepting them once and for
all lessens their stressfulimpact. Life is not always fair and we
have to learn to look forsilver linings in every black
cloud.Learning a variety of new skills and applying them regularly
inday-to-day life helps a lot in managing stress effectively. It
isimportant to remember two points: "Treat Stress as Your Friendnot
Foe"; and "Anticipate Stress and Be Prepared". EffectiveStress
Management makes use of this advice. Effective stressmanagement
heavily relies on positive optimistic approach tolook at stress.
This approach believes that stress contains ahidden opportunity
which opens us a doorway into our innerworlds. We can begin to see
more clearly how our well-beingcomes to be at the mercy of the way
we think and the way wesee things. As we discover more about these
inner dynamics,we can learn how to exercise choice in our
responses, thusbecoming masters of our mindsets. This enables us to
maintaina healthier state of body and mind. Managing our
stresseffectively can also lead to a fuller appreciation of inner
natures,and our hidden strengths so that we can free our own
resourcesand respond to change more flexibly.
