How I deal my Stressful Day

Each of us had experienced a stressful day on our life. There are so many reasons why a person become stressed especially on this time that we are still facing the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of us lost their job while some of the students stop on their studies because of financial matter.It's really painful to think but this is the reality, as long as we are alive ,we have to experience stress. I'm a college student now and I admit that I also experience stressful day not only because of my academic but also the other aspect of my life. I remember that day that I almost give up on my life. It's the time when my father passed away and that time I also need to accomplished my task as a student leader. While I carry the heavy feeling about what happened to my father, some of my classmates also push me to do the assigned task for our group. It's very stressful day for me but I also need to stay calm and be rational because aside from being a daughter ,I am also a leader that needs to fulfill my responsibility. But instead of being hopeless and discouraged, I choose to still do my best to reduce my stress. And here's some of the things that I always do whenever I encountered a stressful day . Take a walk to a quiet place I always to do this when I am stressed. When I am still at the province, I walked to the seaside to refresh my mind and to think the possible solution to my problems. Sometimes a person only needs to feel some fresh air to release their stress. There is also a circumstances that while I walked I shouted all my worries in front of the sea. After I do that my feeling becomes better. **I called someone who I trusted the most** Most of the time when I'm stress , I called my mom because I know she is the right person who can understand me without any judgement. I know that sometimes they are disagree on our decisions but in the end of the day our mothers still support and guide us. She is the greatest human pillow and crying shoulder on my life. Aside from my mom, I also called my best friend. Whenever I talked to her, I can ease the stress and burden that I have in my heart. She is my secret keeper and she always give me unexpected advise about life. Even the fact that we are busy on each other life, she never forgets to took time to ask me if I'm okay and I also do the same to her . I go to church and then pray It's should be the first thing that you should do when you are stressed. I feel guilty because there are times that I forget to talk to God and sometimes I only talked to him when I encountered hard situation in my life. But after I've face the biggest problem in my life before , I also learned to talk to Him whether in your happy or sad day. Even a word thank you will do. He should not be our last resort rather our first resort to conquer all. He is the one who will help us in our upside down . I composed song or a poem I believe that if you can't tell your problem to anyone, you can release them through writing it. When I feel so stressed, I composed a song or a poem to express my feelings. After this I feel so motivated to continue my life. On the other hand, it's also a better way to release stress through listening music. Indeed, music is created to be feel and to hug us in times of our difficulties. I eat ice cream Eat something cold is also one of my way to release stress. Whenever I eat an ice cream , I feel more calm as if I eat an energy food. Its really helpful to eat your comfort food when you are stressed. Count 1-3 or 1-10 It's the easiest way to release my stressed. I count one to three while inhaling and exhaling. It feels that negative vibes was taken away from us. If you want to a longer one ,count one to ten and after my stress was reduced somehow. Author's Thought Somehow you might say that your life is a mess because of too much burden and stress you've been experience today. But I just want to remind that the life is not only about today because today is only a part of your life. If you feel stressed today, instead of being unmotivated try to fill the gap and find the things that help you to reduce it. It's normal to a person to feel so stressful but if you let your stressed be bigger than your hope, you'll lose at the end. If you rambled the word "STRESS", you also found the word Rest and Set. In a stressful day ,you also need to rest or take a break for a while and you also need to Set a new plan to reduce it. Life is too short, don't stressed too much yourself on unworthy things. You are always bigger than your worries. Just continue and let your stress also become your success.
