Stress in itself is not an illness, but in extreme cases it can cause serious medical problems if it isn’t controlled and addressed. On the flipside it’s widely accepted that a certain amount of stress in our lives can actually help us to achieve our goals. Although stress is unavoidable, too much of it can lead to feelings of being unable to cope and hopelessness.

What is Stress Management
The signs of stress can include sleeping problems, sweating, loss of appetite, difficulty concentrating, headaches, muscle tension, pain, or dizziness. A person can feel under unbearable mental or emotional pressure. On a more personal level it can lead to people losing their temper more easily, drink excessively or acting unreasonably. In extreme cases it can seriously affect how a individual thinks, feels and behaves.

Stress Management is about helping people to tackle the tension in their life, and cope with the most demanding of times. It’s about assisting those who need expert help to get through issues like work relationships, money problems and meeting deadlines. It can be applied in any type of work environment or lifestyle and is a set of simple but effective techniques that will help you get the better of stress, before it gets the better of you.
