Analysing Your Own Response to Stress

GENERAL QUESTIONS

In order to help reduce work-related stress and select and use the most effective stress management
techniques, it is important to take some time out to establish what, for you, are the main sources of stress at work.

To this end a series of general questions are set out below. The aim is to help you identify what, for you, are the main stressors these days that need to be focused on and dealt with.

1 What are the main sources of stress for you at work these days?
(Please base your answers on the last six months)

2 What do you think are the best ways of dealing with these sources
  of stress?

3 How do you usually deal with stress at work?

4 What helps and hinders you when seeking to manage your stress
  at work?

5 What could you do differently to help manage your work stress
  these days?

6 Generally, what are the most effective ways of reducing stress
  at work in your view?

You may find it useful to spend time with at least one other person who is a good listener to talk through your replies to these questions. This kind of general analysis will also help to prepare you for the self-assessment and personal stress management to be posted later on this blog
