Feeling stressed in today’s society is pretty much inevitable.
But, how stressed you get or how often this happens, are two things that can have a great influence on your life and at work.
Without smart habits, dealing with situations that could be stressful, life can be a whole lot more burdensome than it needs to be. You may feel tired before the week has barely begun. Being overwhelmed daily can affect your physical and mental health.
Below are 6 ways to deal with stress to become a healthier and better version of yourself.
CONTROL
- Make a list of appointments or tasks you want to do.
- Write what do you want to accomplish.
- Make a list of what can go wrong.
- Divide Overwhelming Task in Steps.
- Create a Weekly review of what went well and what can be improved.
SUPPORT
Talk about your thought to another person. Listen without judgment or advising. Human interaction is essential to all people, and having a conversation with someone you trust is a natural stress reliever. So reach out to your friends and family to catch up and get some bonding time, You may also find it useful to talk with a physician or professional therapist.
PAUSE
Try to find out what triggers you in a stressful situation, then whenever you are in the middle of one, make a pause and try to handle it in the best possible way. THE MORE YOU pause, the better you will become, responding optimally to stressful situations.
CHANGE THOUGHTS
Accept the situation and be conscious of how you feel about it. Reframe thoughts: How can I see this in a less stressful way? How can this help me in the future? What can I learn from this?
RELAXATION
