Which of the following is NOT a component of effective stress reduction?

  1. Exercise

  2. Socializing

  3. Isolation

  4. New activities

The correct answer is: Isolation

Isolation is not a component of effective stress reduction because it tends to lead to feelings of loneliness, increased anxiety, and can exacerbate stress rather than alleviate it. Effective stress reduction strategies often involve engaging with others and participating in activities that promote connection and well-being, such as exercising, socializing, and trying new activities. These approaches encourage positive interactions and foster a sense of community, which are essential for managing stress effectively. In contrast, isolation removes these supportive elements, making it counterproductive for stress relief.
