The world is becoming more complex day after day; to cope with this complexity, we need to learn, adapt and change; but this continues learning leads to a big problem, stress.
Stress is affecting both our personal and work life negatively, so we need to manage and control it.
Looking around and reading about stress management, I found three interesting ways:


1) Time Management
2) Predictable and Required Time-offs
3) Self-Assessment

In this post I'm going to talk about the self-assessment method.
What you need to do here is find and identify what is important in your life, the things that you value and you care about; here is a sketch I made to help you easily understand how to identify these things:

• Look at yourself and think "what do I value most?"; you can do that by looking backward to your past and see what in the past made you the man you are now, the experiences and stories that made you reach this point. Another practice is to imagine yourself in the future; what do you want to be? and how you want to achieve that? what difference and effect you want to make to people around you?
•  After having a look inside yourself, think of people who matter to you most in three domains: in family, at work and people from the community you live in, and ask yourself "what these people expect of me? how do I affect their lives?", and even go and ask them what do they expect of you.
