I will pay for the following article Stress Management for Dummies. The work is to be 11 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. From this paper it is clear that Stress Management Stress assessment involves the systematic identification of what might cause stress to an individual to find out if one is doing enough to protect oneself, as well as whether one needs to take steps to manage it. The first stage of stress is the alert phase, which is followed by the resistance phase and later on the exhaustion phase. Stress stems from the manner in which one apprehends to life situations. Stress manifests in many ways including a lack of joy and enthusiasm, intolerance to other people, irritability and an anger crisis. Stressed people also have trouble staying still and providing quality work either in school or at work. Health problems may also occur with increased frequency with slower results of recovery. Another alert signal during the assessment of stress is alcohol or drug consumption either frequently or for the first time. One source of stress can arise from the current stage of an individual’s life.

As the discussion stresses the effects of stress are fear, insecurity and uncertainty. The workplace is a fertile ground for stressful experiences, with a Gallup poll finding that ninety percent of persons surveyed reported being stressed at least one time a week. Employees reporting an excessive workload rose to over 40% from 37% between 1988 and 1995. Additionally, employees fearing for their jobs also rose to 46% in 1995. All this translates into increased tension and subsequent stress. Women experience increased stress in their workplace, despite improved sexual equality and women’s rights, because of increased limitations and pressures. Women are promoted less frequently as compared to men, with mothers suffering from shunted careers. More pressure on women emanates from prevailing notions of behavior and roles expected of women. While men and women advance their careers in similar ways, there exists a double standard.
