Question

short note of direct ways to cope up stress​

Answer 1

Direct action. One stress‐reducing tactic is facing a problem directly by identifying it and then developing a strategy to solve it. For example, for students who become highly anxious at exam times, recognizing that their studying has not been adequate and developing more efficient class‐preparation procedures can be helpful.

Answer 2

Coping is the process of spending conscious effort and energy to solve personal and interpersonal problems. In the case of stress, coping mechanisms seek to master, minimize, or tolerate stress and stressors that occur in everyday life. These mechanisms are commonly called coping skills or coping strategies. All coping strategies have the adaptive goal of reducing or dealing with stress, but some strategies can actually be maladaptive (unhealthy) or merely ineffective. Maladaptive behaviors are those that inhibit a person’s ability to adjust to particular situations. This type of behavior is often used to reduce one’s anxiety, but the result is dysfunctional and non-productive. The term “coping” usually refers to dealing with the stress that comes after a stressor is presented, but many people also use proactive coping strategies to eliminate or avoid stressors before they occur.
