The escape artist does anything he can to remove himself from the situation.
Any solution that removes the stress in the short-term is a good option in his mind. The long-term consequences are of little concern. Hate your job? Quit, even if you don’t have another. Relationship stress? Leave them. You get the picture.
● The distractor attempts to distract himself from the issue that’s causing the stress.
This distraction often takes the form of watching TV, shopping, doing chores, surfing the internet, or eating unhealthy foods.
● The solver focuses on finding solutions to the cause of the stress.
If there isn’t a solution to the stress, the solver does his best to relax and avoid worrying about anything beyond his control.
● Learning to respond to stress effectively is good for you in many ways!
There really isn't any other option that makes sense. If you're going to expend time and energy, expend them wisely. Rather than worrying, focus on finding a way out of the situation causing your stress. If there's nothing you can do, do your best to avoid worrying about it.
● Consider how different your life would be if you committed all of the energy you spent worrying and put it toward finding solutions and putting them into action.
● Avoid using stress relief as a primary objective in your decision-making process. Maintain a long-term focus.
Everyone deals with stress in their own unique way. We might mimic our parents or still be using habits we developed in childhood. Most of us wish we were better at managing stress. Make time for examining this important part of your life. How you respond to stress matters.
