An effective way of coping with stress is by starting a stress journal which could aid you in recognizing some of the habitual stressors in your life. Of course, it also helps you in coping with stress. As for me, every time I feel stressed, (who says coaches are exempted from getting stressed?) I monitor it on my journal. As I keep my daily record, I began to see some common patterns like:
- What caused you to feel stressed
- How you felt at that time both physically and emotionally--and how you reacted to it
- and what did you do to lessen it.

Well, first off, let's start with our breathing. Yes, deep breathing exercises to be more specific. Actually, this is one of the relaxation techniques which could be self-taught.
