A bit of stress is normal, like during a driving test or before a date. But when it’s making you miserable, or affects your physical health, it’s time to act. That can mean working on what’s causing your stress as well as changing the way you react to it.
When you’re stressed, your body releases hormones to help you cope in the moment – for example, by increasing your heart rate. High levels of stress, or over a long period of time, can therefore harm not only your physical health but your mental health too. So it’s important to reduce your stress where you can.

This video talks about how to reduce your stress by raising your threshold for pressure before it tips over into stress.
00:05 My name is Stuart Haydock
00:08 I'm an organisational psychologist and I lead
00:10 the resilience program.
00:15 Well stress is an imbalance between
00:17 pressure and coping ability. To a
00:20 certain extent that subjective because
00:21 everyone's coping ability will be
00:23 slightly different and it's based on certain
00:25 cognitive factors and certain lifestyle factors.
00:27 But actually once we exceed whatever
00:30 coping abilities we have you'll
00:32 typically see that over pressure start to
00:34 manifest itself as negative features.
00:37 So things like interrupted focus and
00:38 concentration.
00:44 In the long-term stress can have an
00:46 impact in both physical and mental
00:48 health. So if it's left unaddressed for long
00:50 periods typically you'd start to see that
00:52 manifesting as reduced focus and
00:55 concentration as i mentioned. But equally
00:58 in the longer term you might see issues
00:59 like depression or anxiety disorders and
01:01 more likely during periods of prolonged
01:03 stress but similarly in the physical
01:05 world you'd also see instances of things
01:07 like gastric disorders like irritable
01:10 bowel syndrome, skin disorders like
01:12 psoriasis as well as the archetypal
01:15 links between stress and things like
01:17 hypertension, cardiovascular disease,
01:19 diabetes potentially.
01:23 Resilience is the concept that actually we all
01:27 have a certain threshold for pressure
01:29 and before it turns into stress
01:31 effectively. Resilience is the idea that
01:33 you can build that threshold so it's not
01:35 necessarily fixed within each individual
01:37 but actually through changing certain
01:39 lifestyle factors and cognitive factors,
01:42 the way that you perceive certain
01:43 situations and how you behave as a
01:45 result of that, you can actually
01:46 improve your tolerance level for
01:48 pressure and stop it from turning into
01:50 those negative features. I think it's
01:52 important to note though that no one's
01:54 necessarily immune to stress as a
01:55 negative factor. Everyone will have that
01:57 tipping point at some point. The idea of
01:59 resilience is that you just increase
02:01 that tolerance level.
02:06 There's lots of different ways when you
02:07 can look at building your resilience so
02:09 generally speaking with separate them
02:11 broadly into lifestyle and cognitive
02:13 factors. So lifestyle would include
02:15 relatively simplistic things like
02:17 including increasing physical activity,
02:18 improving your diet, looking at your
02:22 healthy sleep patterns. Also looking at
02:24 cutting things down like caffeine and
02:26 alcohol potentially can be quite helpful.
02:28 On the cognitive side of things you
02:30 probably look at at a basic level,
02:32 looking at improving your assertiveness
02:35 for example so knowing when to say no
02:37 and knowing where your limitations
02:39 are. Also engaging at a level with people
02:42 around making sure that you wave and
02:45 don't drown so to speak, so actually alert
02:47 people when you are feeling the
02:48 pressure.
02:54 Ultimately it's not for me or anyone
02:56 else to tell anyone what they should or
02:57 shouldn't be doing.
02:58 I think what my experience most people
03:01 will have a decent insight into what is
03:03 good for them and what makes
03:04 them feel good and I think broadly
03:06 speaking what's good for you physically
03:07 is also good for you mentally. The
03:09 difficulty for most people i think is
03:11 the implementation of that so the time
03:13 management aspect comes into this and
03:15 plays a big role so actually it's
03:17 probably more about assessing exactly
03:19 what you have on your plate at a given time.
03:21 What actual time spans you have
03:22 available to make some changes if you're
03:24 looking to do so and then planning in
03:26 sustainable goals that can actually fit
03:28 within those 30 minutes or hour long
03:30 periods that we probably have that are
03:32 flexible. It may not be any longer than
03:34 that for most people so plan within that
03:36 and don't set yourself unachievable
03:37 goals.
03:42 At a basic and more individual level you
03:44 can actually look at online facilities so
03:47 a lot of web applications are based
03:48 around the idea of improving mindfulness
03:50 and improving mental capacity which can
03:52 really help with resilience. Things like
03:54 the peak application that you can use
03:56 day-to-day in relatively short time
03:58 spans. It's going to be quite an achievable
04:00 model for you. So have a look what's out
04:01 there, see something hopefully
04:03 that works for you and then put that in
04:05 place and hopefully build on that as you
04:06 move forward.

If you’re looking for mental health support as part of a broader health insurance policy, we can look after you, your family, or your employees.
†Direct Access telephone services are available as long as the symptoms are covered under the policy. If your cover excludes conditions you had before your policy started, we’ll ask you to provide evidence from your GP that your symptoms are not pre-existing for a period of up to two years from policy start date (or up to five years in the case of mental health). We can then refer you to a consultant or therapist through the Direct Access service. Always call us first to check your eligibility.
