How to cope with daily stress
Stress can refer to simple worries, mental anguish, and family strain; it can refer to pain associated with an illness, life crises, or any other life pressure. Many of us experience day-to- day stress. Here are some helpful tips to cope with stress:
- Communicate with friends and relatives about your stress. Sharing your experiences with people you confide in is beneficial.
- Write in a diary about your stressful experiences and their reasons. Eat sensibly, and avoid stimulants such as caffeine containing beverages.
- Engage in activities you like.
- Regular exercise elevates mood.
- Attending classes aimed at building self-esteem and self-confidence can be helpful.
- Practice mental and physical exercises for relaxation.
The methods above do not replace professional medical care. If you are concerned about your stress and anxiety, see your doctor. And remember, it’s your life, your future, YOUR HEALTH FIRST.
