Coping up with onerous and arduous predicaments.
As long as joy and jubilation is part of your life, so is stress. If there's something wrong, its the way we reach out to our mess. When stressed, we just amplify the level of our problems. If we were to deal with out problems without getting all hyped up, then not only will our problems be solved easily, but also help us maintain a better order of mental health. Stress is the first building block of depression, something which has ruined multitudinous lives.
So, lets have a go at how to deal with stress.
1. Your way of life.
The way you lead it, plays an important role in how stress is induced in your life and how it can be cured or treated. Believe it or not, exercising reduces stress to quite an extent. Exercising works in more than one way. It diverts your unnecessary focus on the problem, which is the source of your stress. Exercise helping you maintain your health is just an added bonus. And exercising doesn't necessarily mean you've to hit the gym. A short game of lawn tennis spanning half an hour or a bit of hiking or cycling or a few sets of crunches will do the trick. A peaceful soul can exist only in a healthy body. To overcome/avoid stress and depression, you ought to have a healthy body. You've to eat right and sleep tight.
2. Creating Diversions
Having a hobby or engaging yourself in a side activity is a long known trick and its ingenuity is proven. As simple as drawing, origami or even following a TV series.
I personally suggest sketching ,painting or reading as it helps in the long run.
3. Get a hold of yourself
Organize your work and all tasks. A organized environment naturally lets have a feel of control, which relieves stress automatically. Avoid the repetitive onslaught of negative thoughts. Develop a sense of humour. Taking life too seriously has more demerits than merits. At times, you just need to sit back and relax.
4. Seek support.
Seeking support is not the sign of weakness but strength. Learn to lean over friends and family. It helps ways beyond your imaginination. Knowing that there's someone out there who knows what you're going through, how you're feeling and the relief you feel knowing that there's someone waiting right behind you to pick you up when you tumble.
I too am no different when it comes to stress. Like every one of you, I too experience stress but, but, but, I've my very own way of dealing with it. I just ask myself these questions and not only does it relieve me off my stresses but motivates me.
1. Was it your fault?
This is a trick question because either way, you're the one affected. So you need to accept your current situation and try to figure your way out. Blaming yourself or others is going to get you nowhere. So embrace it and work on your way out.
2. Can you do anything about it?
If you can't do anything about it, why ponder over it? Why waste your energy over something completely futile.
If you can, then you should be already getting up and working on your way up and making up for your mistake. Everybody makes mistakes. We are supposed to make mistakes. That's how we learn. If you were a know-it-all, you wouldn't have been here in the first place. Mistakes are what makes us feel alive. Only the living make mistakes. Be glad you made one.
3. Can it be corrected?
If it can be corrected, do it. It may take a while, it make a lot of effort and struggle, life was never supposed to be easy in the first place. Life is just like a video game, the more you progress, more the number of obstacles you face and harder the levels get. That's the reason its all fun, right?
Can't correct it?
Forget about it and think of ways to level it up or do something that may make up for it
Can it be replaced?
Yes. Then replace it, no matter how hard it is, as long as what you're doing is along the right lines. Can't replace it?
There definitely ought to be something that can match up to it. It may not be the same, it could be a bit off or maybe even better.
I'll tell you about my cousin. He lost his father when he was just a toddler. He grew up without him. His mother was his world. He lost her to blood cancer when he was just a year into his job. He tried everything and everyone but nothing could save her. He was crushed. His world was snatched away from him and he could do nothing but helplessly watch it slowly slip out of his hands. He went broke with all the costly treatments. He was treated for depression for about 7 months but to no avail. Finally, he lost his job too. To help him up, I and some of my other cousins and friends, set up him at a local company. There, he met a girl. Things started to improve. He got better with each passing day until he reverted back to the guy we all once cherished. He's married to her for five years now, with a 2 year old girl. He lost his everything once. If he can get it back, so can you.
So step out and GO GET 'EM!
