There are so many approaches which will teach you how to stress less. Some of them are really fruitful. Learning with different stress-reducing techniques and strategies one thing really helped me a lot to sort it out. And that is we should not be stressed about reducing stress!
You know what, no matter how much you try you can't run away from stress. I would say sometimes, we shouldn't focus on getting away from it rather adapting with it. It may sound silly but this is what can help you to have less stress. Let's see how we can make us adaptable to stress.
- Know that stress is temporary.
Don't focus only on stress during stressful days because this will not help you get out of it fast. Stress with being there and will go gradually. So, do whatever you meant to do, if worry comes- let it be. But remember this bad time will end soon.
- Accept that you can't have everything.
Stress usually comes from our denial and 'what if' thoughts. When you decide to accept no matter what happens you will make yourself stronger. We can't achieve everything and anything. We must have to adjust, accept, and adapt.
- Be optimistic.
It doesn't mean you have to believe something good will happen. No, it can't possibly. But try to find something good in everything. See the bright side and you surely will feel less stress.
However, the most important thing is to 'let things go'. I know it hurts if we can't get something we wanted, especially if we meant to have that. Our life plan has to change some time because of not getting certain things. But don't hold things in mind, move on. Otherwise, this feeling will keep you stuck and will not help you to grow.
