4 Ways to Handle Stress

We all experience stress in different ways.

For some, it's difficult to focus on anything else except the thing that is stressing you out.

For others, you may try to push your feelings down and ignore them.

There are many ways to deal with stress… some good, some bad.

I hope this video/blog helps you to be ready for the next stressful situation you face.

Below are four ways to handle stress that can be more beneficial for your mental health:

1. Focus on what you control:

A lot of the time we worry over the part of the problem that we have absolutely no control over. Remind yourself that life is always happening for you, all you need to do is focus on what you can control in the situation.

2. Prepare for it in advance:

Let’s be honest, sometimes we create stress for ourselves. If you are an optimistic type of person you might want to do some negative visualisation before you say “yes” so quickly. Consider all pathways before proceeding!

3. Journal

Writing down how you feel and how you handle difficult situations can help you for future stressful situations .Make a habit of journaling in the morning or night. Let all your thoughts out!

4. Have a hobby

When your mind is full sometimes its nice to think about something else. Go towards the things you love when you are feeling a little overwhelmed.
