6 Steps To Manage Stress In Your Life

Stress usually shows when it has festered for a while from daily situations. Learn to get relief the moment a stressful event happens. Express yourself at the moment, write about it, or try soothing exercises to relax and refocus.

Use your time wisely

Poor time allocation can activate stress. If you are running for a limited time, you will not be able to stay calm or focused and you will resort to unhealthy coping to keep yourself together and your commitments.

Avoid careless commitments, have your priorities straight, share responsibilities, and break down tasks into manageable steps.

Avoid unnecessary stress

Identify stress that you don’t need to be putting yourself through. Learn your limits and know when to say ‘no’, steer clear of people who come with stress, and avoid stressful environments like social media or television if they make you anxious. Have a to-do list and let it guide you.

Adapt to the stressor

Reframe problems and stressful situations to cater to you in productive and positive ways. Get some perspective about the stressor and focus your energy where it is productive.

Accept the things you can’t change

You cannot avoid some stressors and the best approach is to accept them as best as you can to find peace. Leave uncontrollable things outside of your capacity. Look for the bright side of situations and opportunities in challenges.

Get a stress journal

A stress journal can help you identify the source of stress in your daily life and help you understand how you deal with those sources. You can also use a stress tracker on your phone.

Identify the source of stress

Get to the bottom of what is causing your stress. This may not be as straightforward as it sounds. Stress can spike when we either fail to meet challenges or when challenges overwhelm us. A demanding job can cause stress, but so does procrastination.
