Fear causing Stress:
Fear is the root of
all problems in our life and it is the reason stress occurs. When
a person feels threatened, the emotions are often tangled in a web
of confusion that hinders a person from seeing the problem in full
light.
Many of us fear the
worst possible will happen, when a threat presents itself. This is
where stress management comes into focus, since most fears are explainable
and exaggerated.
If a person is at
risk of loosing his or her job then the person has a legit reason
to fear, however, if the person has stress management techniques in
place the he or she would know the next move.
We know the person
is at risk of loosing a job, so we have question the person since
we do not know why he or she is at risk. We can assume that the person
violated a policy in the workplace, or else the employers are laying
off workers.
If the person violated
a policy in the workplace, we know that he or she made a bad decision
in a certain area, acting on her or his emotions rather than using
the head. Now we see that the person is potential threatened by stress
since this person has a failure in their stress management scheme.
On other hand if the
person is at risk of lay off then the situation was out of his or
her control to a large degree. If the person would have been working
to their fullest potentials their fellow employee may be the person
at risk. On the other hand, if the person has not worked at the business
for a long time then it is completely out of their control.
Assuming this person
has a stress management plan, including a saving account established
for potential risks, we know that this person can live off this account
until he or she finds a new job.
We see a stress management
scheme if a saving account is established, simply because planning
and preparing played a part in this decision, as well as expectations.
Now we see that expectations are a part of life and this is often
the reason a person fears. A well-constructed stress management scheme
would appear if this person knew ahead of time that a potential risk
of unemployment existed. Now if this person was searching the job
market to establish a new career we know that he or she is on their
toes and reducing potential stress.
On the other hand,
if the person waited until the last moment to search for a new job
then this person was obviously relying on someone else, believing
a potential threat was non-existing. If the person had a well constructed
stress management scheme in place he or she would have prepared, planned,
put forth effort to eliminate stressors and stress, made a wise decision,
and so forth.
We can never determine
our future and living for today is all we have, however, we do have
a choice to prepare in the event fear comes our way. What about exaggerated
fear? What if this person feared that he or she could never get on
their feet again if they lost the job? This person is obviously stressed
out, since hope and stress management is non-existing. We know that
the person has hope, since jobs are available and since the person
has education, experience, and skills, we know someone will hire this
person. We can see that the persons fear is exaggerated and that he
or she lacks confidence, self-esteem, hope, and so forth.
Now we need a stress
management scheme that works with the behaviors, attitude, personality,
and believes. Practicing a technique can help us to build confidence,
change behaviors and attitudes, and even alter our personality and
believes. Therefore, we need in this scene learning skills, practicing
positive influences, a better understanding of how stress works, and
readjustment tools that can help the person learn how to think accordingly
to life’s demands. We might even include a technique that focuses
on the person’s history to see if any hidden fears exist, that
is promoting this persons behaviors and thoughts. How does stress
link to mental illness?
