Stress surrounds us on a daily basis. which of the following statements best describes ways to reduce or handle stress? a. handling stress effectively involves ignoring stressors and remaining silent about stressful issues. b. handling stress effectively involves recognizing what your stressors are, developing healthy behaviors to minimize stress, and adopting positive coping skills. c. handling stress effectively involves recognizing what stressors are and visiting a psychologist weekly to discuss stressful issues. d. handling stress effectivley involves doing whatever it takes to erase the stressful issue from your mind.

The answer to this question is B) Handling stress effectively involves recognizing what your stressors are, developing healthy behaviors to minimize stress, and adopting positive coping skills. This is because of the following reasons:

It can't be A) because attempting to ignore the thing that is stressing you will likely cause even more stress. Especially due to the fact that it may be impossible to ignore (i.e. your boss annoys you)

C) would not work because seeing a therapist may cause more irritation and stress, whether due to the large amounts of money needed to pay for the therapist, you may just hate therapy, etc.

D) isn't a good option because "doing whatever it takes" ranges across a LOT of inappropriate options that I shouldn't list. It may also lead to more textually appropriate, but still negative reactions, such as punching the stressor. This is a bad idea in almost every case.

For these reasons, B) is the best option. Hope I was the brainliest! And I hope this helps! :)

The answer is B. When recognizing what triggers stress, you can start to eliminate those things.
