Stress caused by anxiety is a top complaint of many.? It has practically become a way of life.? Stress can affect you mentally and physically.? But do not let stress get to you.? Identify what is causing you stress and beat it before it begins to affect you.? You need to remember that not everything is within your control.? The sooner you can realize this, the less you will let the little things stress you out.? There are certain steps to follow to manage stress.
Use your logic when setting personal goals. While we all want a perfect life do not set goals that will add unnecessary pressure on you.? Don’t lose sight of the little things that make you happy.? Also, make a list of what needs to be done and prioritize that list accordingly.? By prioritizing a list, you are able to see which things need to be done immediately and which things can wait.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. You are not always capable of doing everything on your own whether you are at work, school or home.? Asking for help will not make others think less of you.? It will show them that you are willing to learn.
Keep your friends and family members nearby for support during the times that you are overwhelmed.
Sometimes, in dealing with stress, all you need to is talk to someone.? Expressing your feelings is very important in coping with stress.
Stay positive. Remind yourself of all of your positive attributes and when you encounter a trying or difficult situation, let yourself know that you can handle it and that it’s really not as overwhelming as it seems.? Stay positive and confident.
Keep your life organized. While lists may seem predictable and mundane they really are a great way to keep you focused on what needs to be done and when.
Become a problem solver. When presented with a problem, do not run and hide.? Dismissing the problem does not make it disappear.? Write down what the problem is and list all of the possible solutions.
Stay in shape. Physical activity is not only good for the body, but it helps the mind.? Exercising releases endorphins in the brain which are responsible for providing us with pleasure and joyous feelings.? Exercising is a great way to reduce stress because it gives you something constructive to focus your anxiety and negative energy on.
Take time for yourself. Remember the little things that you used to like to do whether it is painting or playing music or working in your garden.? Make your hobbies a part of your life again.? They’ll make you feel productive and yield positive results.
