Stress is a natural physiological and psychological reaction to external pressure or needs, triggered by factors such as work, relationship, financial concern or life change. It may be acute (short -term) or chronic (long -term), and its impact varies depending on how we feel and react to these stress factors. In the world with today’s fast pace, tension has become a constant companion, promoted by overwhelming tasks, strict terms and relentless breakthroughs of social media and FOMO (fear of missing). Without conscious management and proactive, tension strategies can escalate into exhaustion, leading to serious physical and mental health problems. If not resolved, chronic stress can cause irreversible damage. So how can we prevent stress from turning into exhaustion? Here are some effective strategies: 1. Answer, do not react to stress arising, it’s easy to react impulsively, this only promotes the pressure we feel. Instead, try to pause and achieve your view. Back and observe the situation from the point of the third person. By distant with the emotions of this moment, you can react more thoughtful and calm, preventing stress from being exhausted.
2. Being present in the source of the main stress of the moment comes from worrying about the future and imagine the worst situations. For example, if you lose your job, your mind can spiral into thoughts like, how will I provide my family? Or “I have resigned.” While these worries are natural, they often exaggerate the situation. Instead, focus at the present time. Ask myself: What can I do now to move forward? By maintaining the base on the present, you manage stress in real time and avoid letting it be out of control. 3. No comparison, do not think that there is no expectation of the simple but strong principle to prevent the mental trap leading to frustration and stress. By not comparing yourself to others, you free yourself from the self -judgment cycle and confirmation. By not assuming, you open yourself clear and reduce unnecessary anxiety. And by unexpectedly, you create space for acceptance and peace, allowing life to open without the weight of disappointment. 4. Practicing gratitude when stress feels too much, it’s easy to focus on what is happening. Moving your concentration to what is going on can help reduce anxiety and improve your mental health. Make it a habit to practice gratitude, whether by writing things you are grateful or spend a little time every day to ponder the positive aspects of your life. Gratitude is a simple but effective tool to turn your thoughts from stress to appreciation.
5. Practice breathing is conscious of the fastest and most effective ways to reduce stress at a time through conscious breathing. When stressed, our breath tends to become shallow and fast, this only increases the body’s tension reaction. By breathing slowly, deep, focusing on breathing in and exhale, you activate the body’s relaxation reaction, lower your heart rate and soothe the nervous system. Practicing consciousness in just a few minutes a day can help you focus and reduce the physical and mental effects of stress. While stress is an inevitable part of life, unnecessary exhaustion. By attentive response to stress factors, staying, avoiding mental traps and nurturing gratitude, we can manage stress more effectively and protect our mental and physical health. Small steps, consciousness every day can help us navigate the challenges of life without losing balance. (Santosh Joshi, Author, PLR’s Life and Tri Coach)
