( Also see General adaptation syndrome) Causes of stress: Many things can trigger the stress reaction, including danger, threat, news, illness, as well as significant changes in one's life such as the death of a loved one. Techniques of stress management include: Some techniques of time management may help a person to control stress. For example: - becoming more organized and reducing the generation of clutter
- setting priorities can help reduce anxiety
