8 Tips To Learn To Control Your Stress

 8 Tips To Learn To Control Your Stress. There are many situations that can make us lose control, especially if they are maintained over time, because in this case the accumulated stress will end up generating sensations and/or emotions of a negative and harmful nature for us.

Here are some tips to help you manage stress :

1.  Find out what tends to stress you out , in this way when you are clear about all the situations that generate stress, you will already know that they can function as an alarm signal for you to prepare for them, that is, to look for alternative actions before losing control of the situation.

2. Evaluate the level of demand that you present to the different activities of your life. Sometimes being less demanding, allowing you to make time frames or ways of carrying out things more flexible, will allow you to assume responsibilities more calmly. Considering every day what you should do and demanding to carry them out with high levels or unrealistic goals will end up, in many cases, having feelings of frustration or incapacity on yourself.

3. Learn to solve your problems of the present without thinking, frequently, in the future. Many people spend a large part of their day considering unreal problems that have not yet happened, and even hypothetical situations for which we have no evidence that they will happen. The wear and tear of thinking in this way ends up generating a state of continuous stress .

4. Delegate responsibilities , even if it is sometimes difficult. It is important to share tasks with all the members of the family because the day to day entails a great load of activities that end up exhausting whoever decides to assume them in their entirety. Many times, knowing that we will do them faster or better than the other, means that they are resolved by a single person, not allowing the other to assume them or continue them.

5. It is important to find a space on the rest day where you can relax or dedicate yourself to your hobbies or any other pleasant situation that allows you to disconnect from your daily tasks. If at the end of the week you consider that you only live to work or for other obligations, it is likely that you will generate pessimistic and negative thoughts about your situation, which can lead you to situations of sadness, anxiety or hopelessness .

6. Sometimes there are stressful and negative situations that are difficult to handle , because the resolution alternatives are scarce. In these cases, small changes in the interpretation of what happens to us and in the way we deal with them can help us, as well as the acceptance of that discomfort. All this can allow us to position ourselves in a better way in the conflict situation.

7. Replace your negative thoughts with more positive and adaptive alternative ones. Negative thoughts generate negative emotions, so we must be aware of the quality of our thoughts and the consequences that they entail.

8. Maintain healthy habits with food, sports, hours of sleep, etc.
