Stress management: Prevent stress setbacks
Coping with setbacks
Feeling stressed is normal. So are setbacks in dealing with stress. After all, behavior change doesn't happen overnight. If you lapse into your old ways, don't give up. Focus on what you can do to regain control of the situation.
If once-helpful techniques seem to lose their effectiveness, try something else. If you're facing new stressors, reconsider the best way to approach the situation. Remember, stress is a part of life. How you respond is up to you.
