There are very serious consequences of living with stress in our lives. We must find ways to reduce and eliminate the stress. It is a priority to develop coping skills and we must identify these stressors. Making a "stress list" would be helpful. From this list you must determine the specific stressors that are affecting your life and in then prioritize that list; as well as, determine which can be eliminated or reduced. These are some of the techniques that can be used.
