"Stress Management": "stress" is mental, physical, or emotional tension or strain. For each of us, the experience is a little different -- and the situations that trigger it are individual also. "stress management" is the process of using tools or skills such as guided imagery/visualization, meditation, biofeedback, breathing exercises, yoga, etc to decrease or contain this tension or strain ("stress.").

Stress Management: We all experience stress every day. Some stress is needed to motivate us for action. Too much stress which occurs too often can be damaging to one's health and sense of well-being. There are ways to manage the negative effects of stress so that it does not damage health, such as reframing the meaning or solving the problem, deep breathing, exercise, meditation, and healthy eating and sleeping.
