Dear Steemiens,
Stress is something unavoidable. Whether you are a student or a worker, all of us have problems or stressful situations in our lives. Since the moment we were born into this world, Pandora's box was opened to us and no one can escape that open box. We may not escape it but we can learn how to handle it.
Today, I am going to share with you on how I manage stress and how it can also help you manage your stress. So...
Let's get started!
1. Exercise
Exercise is good for our body. It causes our body to release endorphin, which is the hormone to makes us happy. You don't need to sign-up for a gym membership that cost you hundreds, most exercises such as yoga and Pilates can be done at home at your own space. Exercise will not only make you feel happy but energetic throughout your day. I usually do my workouts in the morning but you can do it anytime of the day for at least 15-30 minutes.
2. Eat Healthy
Our body is our temple thus we need to take care of it and feed it with good food. If you feed your body with junk food, nicotine, drugs, alcohol or caffeine, you are going to struggle with health problems. No one wants that to happen so I would recommended you abstain from eating unhealthy food and start eating healthy. If you wish to change your diet, you could do more research on healthy diets available online.
3. Prayer
Prayer is very powerful because it not only changes your perception, it changes things around things around us. Our mind becomes more focus and we will feel the vibrant energy from within us giving us peace and comfort. Our mood is shifted from gloomy to hopeful. If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, I would recommend you could try praying. You can feel the energy and peace coming from within you.
4. Focus on your Goals
Stressful situation usually prevents our mind from seeing the end goals . Most people get distracted, they become engross on the problem and they turn to drugs, alcohol or any form of substance abuse. They end up becoming more stress out and stressful to others. Eventually the actual goal is abandoned.
I think stress is a form of challenge in life, its more like a puzzle. Every stress has a solution to it and we are encouraged to take up that challenged and find that solution for it.
Life is full of hills and mountains, these are designed for greater good, so embrace it!
5. Rest
Our body communicates with us by sending signals of pleasure and discomfort. Stress is also a sign that your body needs rest. You should not ignore that! Getting at least 7 hours of sleep daily in a clean, quiet, comfortable environment is essential for beauty sleepers.
6. Friends
Hanging out with good friends and people who could make you smile always will make you forget why you were so serious in the first place. Afterall life so short to be engrossed in something that is not permanent; stress.
7. Love
Love is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and to others. Love sends out a beautiful energy to both the sender and the receiver as well. When we love, we will feel a peace from within. If we love ourselves, we would always do our best to keep ourselves happy and healthy and at the same time we would care for others as well too.
