But it’s also one of our most unhealthy habits. Work, money, insufficient sleep, relationships, even driving in thick traffic have been shown to increase it. Unsurprisingly, roughly 3 of 4 people experience stress-related negative physical and psychological symptoms. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003C!--more-->\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I’ve battled stress myself, I wanted to help, and put together a \u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F1nJyDu7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guide to Managing Stress with Technology\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fstrong>.

Through this, I have learnt that stress impacts me the same way it does others – it reduces the level of my focus, leads to bad sleep quality and decreases my emotional well-being. Based on this data, I realized I need to develop personal methods for reducing stress, as giving over 50 keynotes a year, as well as writing and consulting, stress was threatening my health.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First things first, I had to identify the things that make me more stressed, as well as the activities and thoughts that help me reduce anxiety. Then came designing a strategy that helps me pursue my lifetime goals without inducing undue stress.

Using a spreadsheet to track when I was stressed out, I was able to realize when it impacted my life – something that’s easy to miss amid the rush of work, family and social activities. When I purchased the Pip device to actually measure my stress levels, I gained even better understanding of stress in my life, and what activities increased or decreased its levels.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, I’ve been playing \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.lumosity.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lumosity\u003C\u002Fa> to improve my cognitive skills, but what surprised me was how effectively playing just 10-15 minutes reduced my stress levels. I’ve been using music from \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.focusatwill.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Focusatwill.com\u003C\u002Fa> to work productively, and it turned out my stress level also decreases while listening to its tunes. Realizing that playing football decreased stress levels not during and right after the game, but for another 24 hours convinced me to indulge more in the sport.

Its smartphone app also helps learn how to reduce stress by showing me a winter image which I need to transform into summer by being relaxed. I hold it between the thumb and index fingers to measure skin conductivity for a few minutes and I know I dedicate time to having a less stressed life.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The longer I can keep my stress low, the faster the scene changes. The task takes me about 15 minutes, while my wife does it in about 4 minutes. Of course it stresses me to think about how much more stressed I am than my wife, at least according to the device.
