Did you know that stress is the body's normal response to an abnormal situation, n that its a potential you can use for the betterment of yourself? Indeed, how u get to handle it may drive u toward a state of self discovery and understanding that will makes you better, understand what you are experiencing and get the best out of it. Indeed, you are able to generate internal energy and use it to go through the tough times. When u take it as such, we call it eustress. However if you are negative and feeling desperate, fatigued and bila morale, the reverse is true. You lack the internal strength to drive you through the situation n start seeking exogenous energies. Negative body condition like cognitive dissonance, headache, stomach upset n other diseases masks you such that you are unable to see the opportunities that lies within the stressing situation. Now, that we call it distress. In managing our stress we should strive toward turning it eustress much more than distress. Its said that tough times challenges one toward realizing their hidden potential.
Therefore you may choose to either avoid the stressor, alter it, accept it or adapt to it. Simple things that i do when am stressed is writting down what is stressing me, how its affecting me what the stress is making me feel. Then i divert my mind from the stress n do thing that relaxes me. Maybe listen to music, read or take a walk or talk about it with a pal.
Sometimes i find myself crying if am overwhelmed n feel very relaxed! Well maybe u can even try this simple 'first aid' activity for stress. Sit comfortable on a chair, relax, close your eyes n drift into a sweet memories. Take 5deep breaths making sure you hold air in your lungs for close 30seconds. Am sure your tension will easen up. All the best dear and i hope you find my sharing useful. Cheers. Rem God loves you!!!
