i handle stress by takkng steps back and self-reflecting. An taking time for myself to apologize for any sour moment.
it depends of my mood, but often I do look toward support
@InsightfulPhoenix
I do the same thing I step back look over what happened and what made me this way and learn to not have it hopefully happen again
I try to handle my stress by going to my room and turning on my LED lights to a soft mode and putting on a record and reading a book.
I usually don't ask others for help because I don't know how to. I don't really have anyone in my life that understands my certain kind of stress or stressors.
@bluemariposa17
Sometimes it is hard to ask others for help because we may feel judged when looking for help. It is hard at times to open up when we are seeking help but I am here for you always.
@pamharley003. I take some quiet time by myself and do breathing exercises also.
@adventurousBranch3786
When i am stress i do that and also write in my journal to work on things that stressed me out
@pamharley003
It is sad how much damage stress can cause to our bodies if we ignore it! Thanks for this post to remind us about it!
When I feel stress in my life I usually turn inwards first and meditate. Then I decide what needs to be done first, what is most important and what can be done later. Mostly I deal with stress on my own but if I can't deal with it I will ask for help here or call my old friend.
@amiablePeace77
Stress does not only play with our mind it also affects the body which sometimes we forget. Glad you loved the post
@pamharley003 Thank you for sharing
@Blueberry9204
your welcome 😘
I call friends and talk
I journal
I do deep breathing and focus on my breath
I meditate
I crochet, sit down, step away from my computer/phone
I walk in the sunshine and breathe
Sometimes I do lymph massage/tapping and give myself hugs :)
These seem to help!
@pamharley003 Stress is the root cause for eczema
@pamharley003
What are some ways you handle stress in your life?
Meditation, breathing exercises, walk in nature. These will calm me but not remove the Spector of my responsibilities,
Do you ask others for help at times or handle it alone?
I do not ask anyone in my life for help. It sets you up as victim in their eyes. Which is something that is hard to undo.
@Gettingbettertoday Good question. I see the big picture of my reasons for stress, then figure out what I can do to change my situation. For example, my previous job was stressful. I applied to jobs, and I managed to settle down for one offer.
@freedomauve
I wish i could change jobs. I can't be interviewed.
@Gettingbettertoday That’s unfortunate to hear. What makes you not possible to be interviewed?
@freedomauve
Anxiety. My mind blanks out when I am under pressure.
@Gettingbettertoday I see. Did you reach out to your friends or your therapist to decrease anxiety?
@freedomauve
I can't talk to my therapist except at schedule meetings that are once a month. I don't have any friends to talk to.
@pamharley003 to be honest that question itself very stressful for me to think about all of that and than reflect on it it's one thing I am so used to feels uncomfortable when I am not stressed out or when anything going according to my plan I feel uncomfortable.
@themerlin
I am sorry it made you stressful I did not want or intend to of done that.
@pamharley003ihandle I deal with it by seperating distancing myself write buy something I love like do relaxing things a bubble bath aromatherapy constant tea
stress anixety are my biggest issue problem
