What causes stress?

Stress is the body’s natural response to a perceived threat or challenge. It can be caused by a wide range of factors, both external and internal. 

Common external stressors include work pressure, financial problems, relationship issues, health concerns, or major life changes like moving, starting a new job, or losing a loved one. 

Internal stressors, on the other hand, might stem from negative self-talk, perfectionism, fear of failure, or unrealistic expectations. Even positive events — like getting married or having a baby — can be stressful because they involve change and uncertainty.

What is stress management?

Stress management offers techniques and practices that help you cope with stress in a healthy and effective way. It’s not about eliminating stress, which isn’t possible, but about managing your response to it so it doesn’t negatively affect your physical, emotional, or mental well-being. 

Stress management helps restore balance and gives you control over your life, even when things get overwhelming.

How does stress management work?

At Core Care Behavioral Health and Wellness, stress management teaches you to identify stressors, understand stress responses, and apply strategies that reduce tension. These techniques can be physical (like exercise or deep breathing), emotional (like journaling or talking to a friend), or mental (like practicing mindfulness or cognitive behavioral techniques). 

Time management, setting boundaries, and lifestyle changes such as improving sleep, eating well, and reducing caffeine or alcohol can also impact your stress levels. 

The team's professional support and personal approach are helpful and effective, especially if your stress is chronic or severe.

Why is stress management important?

Managing stress is a must for both short-term and long-term health. Chronic stress can lead to serious health problems such as:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Digestive issues
• Weakened immunity

It can also impact sleep, relationships, and overall quality of life. 

When you manage stress effectively, you think more clearly, make better decisions, and feel more in control. It boosts your resilience and helps you navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease.
