It is said that it’s not the stress that stress kills us but it’s our reaction to it. The word stress refers to the reaction people have when facing circumstances that force them to act, change or adapt in some way to maintain balance. The ability to manage your reactions passes through the awareness of feeling responsible for how you react to the events occurring. It’s also important to leave aside the bad habit of discharging this responsibility to external factors.
Now, how to effectively manage your stress and finally win your battle against it? Just follow these steps:
- Learn to listen to yourself. Become aware of your emotional needs and try to understand that the pressures come from the outside and how you generate your internal tensions.
- Express your feelings. Be assertive and don’t let fear limit your communication.
- Listen to your favourite music. This is an excellent reliever as shown by several studies.
- Learn to manage your time better. This is very important.
- Be in nature. In this case, just a few minutes a day are sufficient.
- Avoid overloading your day even when being at work.
- Practice some relaxing activities like meditation, yoga or having a good sleep.
- Hang out with positive people. Indeed, smiling and laughing can help you reduce stress and improve your mood.
Last, a coaching path can help you achieve a new awareness and find different perspectives to take control of your life.
