Training manual sample
Below are some extracts from our Stress Management, Resilience - Working from Home manual.
Stress is…
-Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
It is also commonly described as:
Every individual
experiences different levels of stress, and can experience stress in different
ways. To manage our mental health and wellbeing, at work and at home, it is
essential to understand where our stress comes from and how to interrupt the
cycle of stress.
Quantifying Stress
Sometimes it can be difficult to articulate how you feel to others, especially when you are suffering from the cognitive load imposed by high pressure situations and stress. One way to make this easier is to use a scaling method.
The scaling method is
called Subjective Units of Discomfort.
It’s used by doctors to help them and their patients understand and compare
levels of pain. It’s subjective because people respond to pain (or stressful
situations) in different ways but is a great communication tool when discussing
stress management.
The goal is to make changes so that the score reduces.
The Holmes-Rahe Stress Test
Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe
The Holmes-Rahe stress
test is used to measure the effects of life events on a person’s stress level
and health. Every Life Change Unit (LCU) has a different 'weight' for
stress. The higher the score, and the larger the weight of each event, the more
likely you are to become ill.
This method is an
interesting measure to assess overall stress and the affect it is having. Try
searching online for “Holmes Rahe stress test” for a range of tools and
resources to assess your stress levels.
The Impact of Stress
Some stress is normal, but high levels of stress for
extended periods can have serious implications in both your working life and
home life.
Chronic/un-dealt with stress causes Adrenal Fatigue which can cause Hypocortisolism (a low production of your stress hormone). Your
adrenals sit on top of your kidneys and produce a variety of hormones including
cortisol and adrenaline. When you're stressed your brain tells your
adrenals to release cortisol into your blood steam so you can adapt and respond
properly to the stressor. This is good. However, if you're constantly stressed
(chronic) your adrenals get fatigued and therefore are unable to
properly produce enough cortisol.

Symptoms of Stress
Symptoms are the signals or signs your body gives to tell
you there is too much pressure. Everyone experiences different symptoms of
stress, and it is important to recognise your own stress patterns so you can
act to interrupt the cycle.
Some common symptoms of stress:
Sources of Stress
Below are some common examples of sources of stress:
Interrupting the Stress Cycle
To successfully interrupt the stress cycle and create
lasting changes to your wellbeing routine, it is important to first identify
your personal stressors.
This can be a difficult task, as it requires self-reflection
and honesty. However, by finding the precise source of your stress, you can
then begin to implement strategies to manage and reduce the impact of the
stressor in your life.
Sometimes stress can be so overwhelming that it becomes
extremely difficult to pinpoint the exact source or personal stressor.
Remember, even small lifestyle changes can have a huge impact on your stress
levels at work and at home, so identifying even one small area where you’d like
to make changes is beneficial. Once you begin, you will find that those small
changes often naturally develop as you change your mind set about stress and
wellbeing.
The Stress Bucket – a Wellbeing Visualisation
The stress bucket is a
visual that can help us address the balance of our wellbeing. If we are put
under too much pressure, or situations change quickly, our bucket can ‘fill up’
with too much stress, and this is when we start to see more severe impacts of
stress.
It is essential,
especially in times of high stress, to be creating ‘holes’ in our stress
bucket. These ‘holes’ can come in many forms, from mentally reframing the way
you think about a problem, to spending time recharging your emotional reserves
by chatting to friends or exercising.
In an ideal world, we aim
for equilibrium, where the amount of stress we experience is mitigated by
stress strategies and our own personal resilience. This process is different
for every individual, so it is important to identify the strategies that work
best for you, and to keep adapting this over time as your lifestyle, priorities
and motivations change.
Reframing Negative Thoughts and Beliefs
Cognitive Distortions
Cognitive distortions are biased perceptions we take on
ourselves and the world around us. They are usually subtle but irrational
patterns of thought that we unknowingly reinforce over time.
It is normal human nature to fall into the trap of distorted
thinking. Recognising and modifying these faulty patterns of thinking, before
they lead to unmanageable levels of anxiety and stress, is essential.
As with any new skill, reframing your thoughts to moderate
cognitive distortions takes time and practice, but is a powerful tool when
tackling the impact of stress.
