Week 4: Stress Management

Take a Step Back

Step back and look at your worries from an outsider’s point of view. Imagine how others might handle these issues. You can also use this technique to look at your job or family duties.

 

Ask yourself these questions:

•  What can I expect of myself in this situation?

•  Are my expectations realistic, given my abilities, strengths, and weaknesses?

•  What do others expect of me?

•  What ideas would others have for me?  When you imagine how someone else might respond to a situation, you may actually come up with helpful ideas!
