I will share my personal experience here. First, I will briefly discuss the causes of developing stress. The main reason why we develop stress is because there is lot of noise in the mind. For example, in our mind, we think about the future and the past, but do not enjoy our present moments. Human mind processes 11 million information per second and most of this is related to either future or the past. We worry about the future and feeling depressed about the past tragic events, for example.

However, we can reduce our own stress without seeking medical help. Here are the ways:

- If we learn to live in the present moment, we can reduce our stress.

- We need to learn how to calm down our mind, so we can focus on one thing at a time.

- To calm the mind, breathing techniques are very effective.

- Then, spend some time with yourself without thinking about anything. Just focus on the present moments.

- Wake up early and try to walk or sit in a green place, in nature.

- Make a list of to-do-pending tasks and start completing the tasks one by one. Pending tasks are also significantly related to high levels of stress.
