Abstract

The main problem: the article highlights the problem of dealing with stressful situations that are often found in the daily life of a human being. Purpose: to define the concepts of "stress" and "stress tolerance", to analyze some methods of working through stressful situations, stress relief. Methods: the article discusses active exercises and trainings to relieve tension and reduce stress, some self-regulation techniques. The results and their significance: the stress management techniques we offer can help a person cope with the abundance of stress that he has to face in everyday life. In addition, we also consider such techniques that can prevent the subsequent occurrence of so–called distress – the harmful effects of stress on the human body and its health. Each person has their own individual scenario of behavior under stress "in terms of frequency and form of manifestation." Most often, this scenario is learned in childhood. The direction of stress aggression is also repeated: at yourself or at others. One blames himself for everything and looks, first of all, for his mistakes. The other blames everyone around him, but not himself. The stress scenario learned in childhood is "triggered" almost automatically. In these cases, a minor violation of the usual rhythm of life and work is enough, as the stress mechanism turns on and begins to "unwind" almost against the will of the person. Self-regulation is a person's ability to arbitrarily manage their activities. The ability to self-regulate is a very important quality that helps a person maintain internal balance, preventing information from entering his consciousness that poses a threat to his well-being. It is also important to learn how to manage your feelings, independently regulate your emotional state.
