blogadmin The reason to pause & take care of our mental health is important today than ever before.
On this stress awareness month, we encourage you to explore ways of connecting with what instills calmness & relaxes your mind. For a better you.
Stress is like an adamant shadow that doesn’t leave us. It’s born within, it stays within & comes out only during times. As and when lights & darkness of situations befall, this shadow spreads in our life. Slowly that creeps into us resulting in anxiety, overthinking followed by insomnia, health issues, and so many other health disorders. Have you ever thought about how’s stress is created? If not, you’ll relate to this. Read on.
The starting point of stress creation is the way we react to things/situations. Which leads to thinking about an issue and then overthinking, imagining negative scenarios. The human brain is so fast at drawing scenarios that are not even a reality. But all these vague clouds create something real – STRESS.
Tip no 1 – Don’t react or hype about a situation/issue/problem. Always know, if there’s a problem, it comes with 99 solutions. And there are still 110 further possible solutions to this problem. Nature creates everything with a key 🙂 Having this thought as the base of your mentality & lifestyle will always help you to not only think positively but practically positively. Don’t ever let emotion take over you & spoil your mental stability.
If you do not understand what to do immediately call a friend/ your mentor/or your family & friends. And speak what is most bothering you. Try to remove the small core point that’s irritating you and find an immediate solution to it.
Tip2 – Always work on the solution immediately, instead of cribbing over the situation. What’s next? should be your approach.
Tip 3 – Always know that a force bigger than everyone above is watching to solve your problems and your issues will be taken care of. You don’t need to stress a lot about it. Give it time, have patience and it will untangle on its own. Do what’s in your control & leave the rest to nature & god. There’s nothing bigger in this world than you being happy & mentally stable. Your health, matters!
Research says 70% of people face stress daily which makes it highly necessary for individuals to combat stress and find ways to relax.
