Healthful versus Unhealthful Coping Strategies in Dealing with Stress

Stress is defined as the response of the body and mind to unpleasant

or challenging events in life. Now, what should you do when you are
stressed out? Coping strategies are the actions we take to deal with stress,
problems, or uncomfortable emotions. Unhealthy coping strategies often
provide instant relief but have long-term negative consequences. In contrast,
healthy coping strategies don’t always feel good in the moment but they
contribute to long-lasting positive outcomes.

Healthful Coping Strategies

1. Talk to Family and Friends. It is

good to know that you have family
and trusted friends whom you can tell

2
 your problems or the stress you are facing. Sharing it out to them
would help you relieved from stress.
2. Engage in Daily Physical Activity. When you are stressed out, you
need to find an activity that would divert your attention such as
playing sports, doing physical exercises, and the likes.
3. Embrace the Things that You Cannot Change. “Acceptance is the
key to a happy life.” You should learn how to accept the things that
are beyond your control.
4. Remember to Laugh. Laughter is indeed the best medicine. Watching
funny video clips is a great help. Also, join a group of people whom
you think could give you happy moments.
5. Give up the Bad Habits. Sacrificing habits that would cause you
harm is the healthier choice to reduce stress.
6. Slow Down. Take your time in making decisions. Do not be in a
hurry.
7. Get Enough Sleep. Getting at least 8-10 hours of sleep everyday
would give your body enough energy to cope up with stress.
8. Get Organized. You should learn how to organize things properly and
keep everything in order.
9. Be Generous. It is good to give back to the people who made you
happy. Think of the things that would also benefit others who might
be stressed out as well.
10. Meditate and Pray. You should spend time to meditate and
pray every day and free yourself from noise and trouble.

Unhealthful Coping Strategies

1. Cigarette Smoking. Stay away from friends who can influence you to
smoke. Smoking is not good for the health.
2. Drinking Liquors. Drinking alcohol will only temporarily solve your
problem. Instead, it will harm your body.
3. Use of Illegal Drugs. Using illegal drugs will only destroy your life and
future.
4. Eating Too Much or Too Little. Not eating enough nutritious foods will
negatively affect your brain activity that hinders your decision making.
5. Too Much Exposure on TV or Computer. It is not good to expose
yourself too much from TV or any other gadgets that produce radiation.
Radiation may harm your eyes and body.
6. Isolating from People and Activities. Keeping yourself away from
people when you have problem will only make things worse.
7. Oversleeping. Too much sleeping will just weaken your immune system.
Sleep on time and wake up on time.
8. Procrastination (delaying tasks). Delaying your projects and tasks will
result to stress because of not meeting the deadline. Do your task and
projects ahead of time.
9. Aggression (anger). When you are angry, you will lose your focus and
you will arrive at wrong decision. Moreover, you will end hurting others.
10. Self-harm. Harming yourself will not solve the problem. It will
complicate the situation instead.

 A person who failed to handle stress may develop poor habits that will
lead to an ailing health condition. It is important for the person to develop
and practice stress management skills.

Stress management skills are techniques that can be used to cope with the
harmful effects produced by stress. First type of skill focuses on doing
something about the cause of stress. Learning and using responsible
decision-making skills can help solve the stressor that is causing stress. A
second type of skill focuses on keeping the body healthy and relieving
anxiety; exercising and eating a healthful diet are effective skills of this
kind.
