MANAGE STRESS BY FACING IT

We've been told over and over about the harmful effects of stress, but how can we handle stress if its source doesn't go away? Figure out what your reaction to stress is. If you respond to stress by doing something productive - like cleaning your house or checking in more frequently with your team 0 consider yourself lucky.

In the more likely case that your stress reaction is unhealthy, take healthy. Some common reactions to stress are micromanaging, making heavy-handed suggestions, and second-guessing decisions. If you find yourself doing these things, pause and take a breath. Paying careful attention to your behavior can help you stop the reaction before it has harmful effects.
