A friend popped this question to me- “I’m tired of being sensitive and freaking out every now and then with stress. I would like to be able to work and sleep and do other things that I need to do with steady progress. It gets all messed up when I am not steady. I get upset easily and then I lose my focus and balance. I can’t concentrate, though I try to get back to my focus. I lose my sleeping routine and schedule. I hate it.” The question is not clear but I am sure you get the meaning. Many of us have this problem. Sudden stress derails us for weeks and throws all our plans haywire. How to deal with this kind of problem? Here are some ways-
Meditation-
Sit down comfortably and focus your mind on something. Even candlelight will do. Let the thoughts come. Ignore them. Keep your focus on the light. Do not move much and remain steady. Watch
Control Thoughts-
Say “stop” and re-focus on your goals and your ideal future. You can also focus on a calming word or scene. Do this whenever you freak out with stress. Get up from your chair and lie down. Say stop to the thoughts and focus on something lovely. Focus on anything that brings positive memories. You can control your thoughts by watching them. You can use negative feedback for this by wearing a rubber band on your wrist and snapping it when you think negatively.
Yoga-
If you have many balls to juggle, start practicing yoga. Yoga is very relaxing. Do yoga for only 30 minutes total, twice a week, and you will see the improvement in your mood. Put on soothing music and do yoga. Another trick is to sing and listen to it. Most of us sing but our ears are somewhere else. Focus your ears on what you are singing and watch the difference.
Walking-
No matter where your emotions were, take a walk and you will feel much better. The endorphins that are released when you walk are very relaxing. Walking also keeps us fit and gives us strength to fight stress better. The sweat removes lots of toxins and keeps body clean. Your body will maintain its beauty if you walk when you are under stress.
Important -
Do not let every other thing bother you. That will surely lead to stress. You need to find out what is most important in your life. Put your focus on what is important and forget the rest. Otherwise you will be wasting your time and energy on what is not important at all. Write down what is most important and keep that near your bed and desk. Focus on that and leave the rest alone.
Pamper-
Take some time off for yourself. Pamper yourself. Stop worrying about what went wrong and forgive yourself for all the mistakes. Keep a pet and play with it. Enjoy life even if things are going wrong.
