Answer 1

Stress is a part and parcel of life, if we accept that then a person is able to cope with stress well, if we try to avoid or get worried when we face more stress then it becomes more stressful. Stress is helpful also, as it gives more productive work. But not helpful, if it is everyday. I ave practised meditation or yoga, and it definately helps is reducing stress. Yoga which involves streching, helps in gaining mind peace. Even going out for walk helps in reducing stress.

I can see that I tend to take up too much of things on my shoulder, and I try to complete it. which puts me under stress. I want to change this behaviour. and currently I am into implementing this behaviour, thereby seeking or imagining more ideas of redusing this behaviour. Hence this stage of implementation is helpful.

Self efficacy theory motivates me the most, as I have almost got many tasks achieved due to this theory. What are you able to achieve is through your inner self and internal confidence, you can achieve wonders through it. If you lost your confidence, then it is hard to achieve even a single task.
