Stress isn’t a little problem and it is obviously difficult to manage sometimes but believe me 80% of the times it’s just some tiny problem you overreact on. You won’t realize it that time because your mind has accepted the fact that it is real and big, that particular time. So the basic thing you need to change in yourself is self-control annnnd self-control or just distract your mind which is easier so yeah as far as my mind can go I’ve like 3 ways(which I also personally do) by which you can divert your mind’s attention another way.
Okay, first of all I am not talking about super serious matters. It’s on all those matters we overreact on.
1. YouTube
Yesss, YouTube and I’m not joking. First and foremost thing which well, works with me every single time. You’ll literally like start with how to get rid of…okay,I don’t know and end up watching stand up comedy. By the time you’ll stop watching videos you’ll realize how small the matter was sooo ya, here you go!
2. Tv series / movies / Books
Because I’m giving ways on how to divert your mind so this is obviously relatable (anytime). Everyone is fond of atleast one of them and if you’re not ( YOU SHOULD BE ๐ถ ). They have stories in them and you choose to see what you’re interested in, right? So your brain will gradually put its attention towards what you seems is more interesting. Just.. just try to force yourself that time to continue with your novel or watch some good series and movies.
3. Meditate / Exercise
It sounds monotonous (unless you’re a gym lover) but hey? You’re not only managing your stress but also health (two in one๐) Wasn’t able to console till now, I know. But seriously, it’s the bessst thing you can do when you’re about to cry or overthink. In general terms, it’ll convert your mental emphasis on stupid issues (no offense) into a really good and healthy side.
Yeah so that is it. See, it’s a human characteristic that we usually overthing or get overwhelmed too easily. I’m not a master at this ofcourse but if it can works for one person then there is a possibility that it can work for you too. Getting a professional treatment or counselling is an option but it’ll be just too soon unless it’s very serious. All you need is to relax and calm yourself down before putting your brain on such pressure. Stress can actually lead to serious health problems but managing it is no big deal. Believe in yourself and wait for the matter, for yourself to calm down. I’ve read this 72h theory somewhere that if something won’t stress you in 72h, thinking and crying over it now is just a waste of time.
If this is about losing a special person from your life then give yourself some time or accept that time will do its thing. I’m not telling you to be cold-hearted and like, never ever cry. Just take is as a healing process. It’ll be over and you’ll be better. Making immature decisions that very time isn’t an option.
