During the last decade and a half, health consciousness has suddenly increased in all sections of

our society. More and more persons are becoming health conscious now. People are trying to
become fit both physically and mentally. The living and working conditions in most of our
towns, as well as the working environment contains high amount of pollutants. Unhygienic
living conditions, commuting long distances on public transport six days a week, pressures of
reaching the workplace in time, operating and working with in organizational discipline, being
the part of rat race for doing better than other, have contributed for increased stress in life for all.
Of course the stress is an essential part for survival but excessive stress leads to the reduction in
efficiency as well as the poor health of individuals, this affects the motivation to improve, which
in turn leads to reduction in commitment, leading to an overall downslide for the individual,
organization, society and the ration as a whole.
Thus, stress management is an extremely important factor, which is required and very much
essential in our day to day life.
So far the authors have come across a number of research papers, which deal mostly with the
clinical aspects of stress management1. The present paper is an attempt to relate the stress
management in general perspective, specially in the age groups of (20-30 years, 30-40 years, 5060 years, 60-70 years) by conducting a survey on 230 individuals exposed to ordinary working
conditions.
