How to Reduce Stress?

By Nur Aina bt. Zamri

Stress is a feeling that people have when they are struggling to cope with demands in everyday
life. These demands can be finance, work or relationship related. Too much stress can lead to physical
problems. A high level of unhealthy stress is known as chronic stress.
That is why it is important to learn how to manage stress. First, eat a healthy diet and be
mindful of what you eat. Start your day with breakfast and keep your energy up and your mind clear
with balanced, nutritious meal throughout the day. Well-nourished bodies are better prepared to cope
with stress,
Next, get enough sleep every night. Your body needs rests, and adequate sleep will fuel your
mind as well as your body. Feeling tired as a result of insufficient sleep will increase stress because it
causes you to think irrationally. Moreover, it can put you at risk of serious illnesses such as diabetes,
obesity and depression.
Additionally, keep a planner to help you better organized. You can list all the tasks that need
to be completed and see which tasks need to be prioritized. Besides that, avoid procrastination. Try
complete all your tasks on time and before you go to bed. This is to avoid unnecessary stress. You
have to avoid solitude and surround yourself with supportive friends and family as they will lessen
the risk of a nervous breakdown.
We can’t avoid stress in our daily lives, but learning how to manage and cope with it quickly
and effectively will help us in maintaining a healthy emotional state.
