What to do in times of Stress!!!

 

Stressing is so stressful but thinking about not stressing makes you stress even

more.

Earlier, getting an education was for the privileged children, most of which

belonging to high castes. That was the story of India in the past. However now,

completing your schooling and getting a degree is the bare minimum one can

expect. These expectations change to exhaustion of energy. Not only

expectations of others in one's life, but also one's own expectation from life.

Everyone wants a great life, a rich lifestyle and absolute comfort. But all these

needs may only be fulfilled with struggle, hard work, and loads of mental power.

This is where stress comes in. This has become common in youth.

 

Disclaimer: 

 Sometimes stress

reaches uncontrollable heights, and that's when no website or Google can help

out, but a trained professional. I want to let you know, that mental health is a

topic that people are now learning about and not neglecting, but the wrong

information can lead to negative consequences. This blog is here to help out all

youngsters for times like failing a test, completing assignments etc. These things

can be done to ease out the mind for a short period. Though keep in mind to

seek out help whenever you think something is wrong and do not cage yourself

in the trap of ignorance.

On a lighter note, let's see what to do when everything feels like a mess, but it

really isn't, trust me :)

1) Venting Out:

The best way to shush away stress is to not. Letting out feelings in some or the

other way will actually help you think logically and not make hasty decisions or

sometimes it will stop you from creating another issue to deal with. Here are

some methods that help me out:

a) Crying:

Yeah, it's pretty dramatic but the most effective. I don't know what the scientific

reason is, but it kinda makes you feel more fresh and ready to tackle any

hindrance. It makes you think more clearly, more positively. I think we've all

observed - if we're sad about one incident or situation, we automatically start

thinking of ALL the sad times in life. And woah it's a sad sad pit. Crying in such a

situation will just, in a way, take away the load :)

b) Writing:

This one is for the writers and it has to be my favorite. Writing down all thoughts

is a practical way of actually getting perspective on a problem, but moreover just

writing all your thoughts on paper and burning it down {don't try this at home tho,

or anywhere} or tearing it and throwing it off is just oddly satisfying. If you're not a

huge fan of such brutal methods, the "typing everything and deleting the file"

method is for you! [ I know it's a very creative way of naming a method :) ]

c) Talking:

This is where your best friend is required. Call or text him/her/they and just pour

out everything. Just make sure the person is interested in listening and you're not

forcing them, because that's not very fun, and chances are, it will result in the

other person going crazy. Oh and if no one's free, the "record and delete the file"

method is for you :)

2) Organization:

Cleaning up your space is will take out a huge chunk of stress from your mind. It

makes one feel very put together and productive. And in addition to that, it is far

more preferable for a person to work in a sorted-out place compared to a mess.

3) Planning:

Whenever you feel like something amiss or well, when everything feels like a

total clutter, planning out things will calm you down. When you know what's

supposed to happen, in what manner and when, you instantly feel ok. It gets stuff

out of your system and keeps you less worried when you have a plan. You can

plan in the following ways :

a) Bullet Journal:

Bullet Journals are just a great way to organize all your tasks in one place, and a

place where all your upcoming events are noted down, to keep you prepared.

They doodles and drawings are optional, but in my opinion, they actually are a

great source of entertainment and relaxation, and if you wanna know about

it....read our keeping a bullet journal

b) Using a Planner:

This is for people who like bullet journals but can't maintain it with all the

doodles. A variety of brands provide ready made, aesthetically pleasing planners

that are super fun to use and also give a hand in mapping out all tasks

c) To-do Lists:

The simplest way to keep track of your tasks is to note them down on a handy

to-do list. You can do so on memo pads and notebooks available in stored and online websites, or stick to digital platforms such as Google Keep. You can create

your own to-do lists on Word, Docs or even print out templates. Also, prioritizing

tasks is a bonus tip to keep in mind.

4) Hobbies :

Sometimes stress comes with overwhelming task, working for long hours, or just

not being able to take off your mind from a particular thing. In this case, taking a

small break does no harm. Listening to music, drawing out a little cartoon,

writing, singing, grooving to a tune, having a chat will help you escape and

distract from your job. However, keep an alarm or timer just so that you don't get

completely submerged and forget your work.

5) Reaction:

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. You might be

stressing about something that isn't even worth your worry. Analyse the issue

first. Know what's important to you and whatever is not. Sometimes we waste

time on the most useless things when we can conquer so much more. Time is

precious, don't waste it on stressing about the one test that you wish you had

gotten better marks on. You can't be the best all the time and that's ok. Just know

how to react.

6) Chill bro. :

Everything is such a mess. We need to realize the we're living on a little ball that

is moving around a fire ball and things are weird. You can't be on top of the world

all the time. You will have days when you don't feel like doing anything. That day,

it's ok to be down and crying and all that stuff. It's part of life. Sometimes you can

fake it till you make it. But sometimes you can't even do that. Stress is such an

issue, but I think it can be tackled. Just know that everything was fine, and

everything will be fine, just believe <3.
