Practical Skills to Cope With Stress

[Howard]

Here are some practical skills that can help you cope with stress:

Skill No. 1: Ground Yourself
During emotional storms, make note of how you are feeling. Slow down and connect with your body. Refocus and engage with the world around you.

Skill No. 2: Unhook Yourself
Unhook yourself from thoughts and feelings by noticing and naming. Then refocus on what you are doing.

(Burrowed from WHO Stress Management lessons)

It is important to meditate   as a form of easing the pressure that comes with being stressed. Stop worrying too much and find a way to relax your mind. It is not always easy to do, but it is not something that is impossible as far as I am concerned.

For me, I always take a break from those activities that stress me out and I sleep. And sleep has been my number one way to ease stress. In the middle of extreme stress, and I sleep, I always wake up more fresh and stronger.
