THIS Is a new week and the idea behind this article is to help reach out to those who have not been able to control stress. Here are a few steps that can help you conquer stress and put you at the top of your game
1. BREATHE.
As cliché as it sounds, every time you face a breakdown, pause for a minute and breathe. Close your eyes and take give deep breaths so loudly that you can hear the air passing through you! Trust me, sometimes all we need to do is be aware of our existence.
2. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SING.
Now, this may sound funny, but developing this habit is hands down the best thing that I did for myself. Every time you feel that piercing rush of hormones, just sit down quietly, shut your eyes and sing your favorite song aloud or hum the song, Absorb the tune. Let it flow through you.
3. LOCK AWAY YOUR DEVICES.
Social media can be a bad, bad thing sometimes. It is normal to feel low when you see people being productive while you are still trying. Live through one tech-free hour every day. Start with one hour first and increase the time as you go.
4. TALK MORE.
Interact with people around you — family, friends and even strangers. I used to ignore conversations and grow impatient when people tried to talk to me. Make small talk, smile at strangers, and support their thoughts, and before you know it, you will get better.
5. READ. WRITE. PRAY. TAKE UP A HOBBY.
Invest energy in whatever you think works for you. Put your faith in something — anything you believe in. Blogging worked for me.
6. TAKE A WALK.
As funny as it seems, when you leave your seat to take a walk, you will forget about what's stressing you. In fact the possibility of getting a new perspective to whatever is stressing you is likely to occur. You can find your own niche.
