Stress: survive or die

Every day it is more and more difficult to live … What to do and how to live until Saturday? Where to look for strength? Such questions are increasingly heard in psychological consultations. Stress is everywhere, absorbing all our attention, energy, strength and potential. But someone could write books or dance a divine dance, receive a peace award, but stress takes its toll, it crushes and suffocates, tires and kills. Is this really so, because if we cannot survive stress, then we die, but, thank God, most people are still alive, which means that everything is not so bad. Let’s imagine that everything is fine at home: the children are angels, the husband is gold, peace is on the robot and grace, the boss is a humanistic altruist with low self-esteem. All colleagues with gray mouse syndrome do not speak more than two words a day. And they pay you a lot, and you have everything, and the car does not break down, and there are no traffic jams on the street, and only your favorite music sounds, and you don’t get fat from chocolate and potatoes. And will you be enough for a long time ?!. I give a guarantee for three weeks and that’s it. Precisely, anyone will be drawn to stress. After all, stress as a reaction is simply necessary, without it it is boring, uninteresting, and life becomes a sweet marshmallow for breakfast, lunch, dinner. You just need to relieve stress after stressful episodes and events, carry out an emotional reboot, activate for new achievements and stimulate yourself. It is quite easy to do this. . Perhaps you need to become the coach of your life, be able to dose the load for a day, a month, prepare for sparring, hold friendly matches, and let specialists work with you before a responsible game. In other words, do some personal stress management. Sometimes one high-quality training is enough to reassess, determine tactics and strategies for home and work, find the right support and stop fussing without purpose and need. There are many stressors, but stress is very often a product of our life. We think about it, stretch it through thoughts, assessments, experiences. To want what is not needed, to have what is in the way, to be afraid of what is not yet, to yearn for the past and analyze the future. But we have one life, so we need to give ourselves universal recommendations in order to win: – do not lose touch with nature, which relieves emotional stress. Remember: in the spring everyone is drawn to barbecue, although in winter they also eat meat; – get creative. Cross stitching is the best relaxation and meditation. For the strong half, fishing is a universal medicine. Preparing gear is like painting a picture; – get at least a hamster at home. The best immune system booster is an animal. Believe me, when a dog meets you, you often want to go home; – sleep 8 hours, brain cells are restored, but they also need time; – walk 20 minutes on the street, which will relieve 20% of stress; – realize your desires. After all, a bag cannot wait for you for two years in a store; – always make a choice, it may be better to get away from stress than to fight it and lose; – throw away tension, it is unlikely that you need it in the form of illnesses; – recover on time, otherwise it may be too late. After all, you cannot get rid of stressors, stressors, stressogens, but you can negotiate with them.
