1E Develop a personal stress management plan that responds to identified stressors and triggers

There can be many sources of stress in the workplace and everyone reacts to stress in different ways. By recognising the sources of stress and our own reactions, we can develop strategies to help us prevent, reduce and manage the effects of stress.

Documenting a stress management plan is a practical tool to help manage stress. It is important, when developing a plan, that it is suitable and appropriate for our own circumstances, and that it is practical, effective and suits the person’s lifestyle and financial situation.
