COACH'S TIPS
Fall Quarter 2008 - Part I
Tips from Coach Carol
from Part Two of "Mastering Stress"
Are You at Risk?
TYPE A PERSONALITIES are impatient, self-critical, competitive and agressive. Always ambitious, they define success in terms of quantity rather than quality, and are always in a hurry to accomplish more regardless of how much they've already done.
Though they may be high achievers, Type A's pay a high price for their accomplishments in decreased ability to enjoy life, and increased risk of stress-related diseases. They are much more likely than easy-going Type B's to be heart attack victims.
TYPE E* WOMEN are faced with the dilemma of trying to fill the traditional female role as well as meet career demands, and wind up trying to be everything to everbody. They feel over-extended and harried, pulled in two directions by their work and personal lives. Too often, they take on others' problems, then feel guilty becasue they can't solve them.
The Type E Woman is a perfectionist, seeing partial successes as failures. Having worked hard to achieve career success, she is often overly self-reliant, reluctant to delegate work, or to ask others for help.

Hot Reactors physiologically over-react to stress, burning "a dollar's worth of energy for a dime's worth of stress." Outwardly, they may appear calm, but inside they are in turmoil.
Although they may be unaware of it, their heart and blood vessels are responding madly with racing heart, high blood pressure, erratic breathing patterns, and sweaty palms. Because of this, they are especially vulnerable to stress-induced illnesses.
Professional counseling can help high-stress personalities recognize and accept thir feelings, clarify their values, set priorities, and learn techniques for handling stress more effectively.
