Tips & Warnings

• Identifying Sources of Stress. One key component in most approaches is a diary that keeps an informal inventory of daily events and activities. A few words accompanying a time and date are usually enough to serve as reminders of significant events or activities. The first step is to note activities that put a strain on energy and time, trigger anger or anxiety, or precipitate a negative physical response (e.g., a sour stomach or headache).Also note positive experiences, such as those that are mentally or physically refreshing or produce a sense of accomplishment.After a week or two, try to identify two or three events or activities that have been significantly upsetting or overwhelming.
