By Esther Tan

Stress comes in different forms. It is also a product of different factors. Different people get stressed due to different things. Since stress has been linked to other mental disorders, it is important to learn how to cope with it.

People have different stress levels for various situations. Each person also has their own coping capabilities. This makes stress management therapies different for each person. But regardless of that, all stress management techniques start with the same step. A person must first recognize what causes the stress. After recognizing the source of stress, certain measures are done to solve or cope.

Emotions are considered by many as what makes us human; hence, emotional stress is difficult to avoid. Emotional stress is usually caused by circumstances beyond anyones control. Example scenarios would be social defeat, relationship conflicts, breakups, divorce, or death of a loved one. Occupational or job stress is due to too much work for one to handle, losing a job, a close colleague getting fired, and other experiences. Stress can be experienced at an early age. Students facing exams and project deadlines are two scenarios of early stress.

There are many ways to conquer stress and for some this may just fall in to practicing some activities that may relieve stress. Activities such as sports and as simple as listening to music can help achieve relaxation which would result to getting your mind off with stress.

The most common music used for relaxation is ambient, classical, or New Age music. Music from Bach, Rachmaninov, Vivaldi, Chopin, Brahms, and other classical artists have shown to soothe an otherwise stressful day. An experiment suggests that plants grow better in classical music as opposed to plants left beside a playing rock music. New Age music, as the name implies, is associated with the New Age movement; which may also include Yoga and is all about relaxation.
