Stress Management #2

Hai everyone .
Well, here I share my writing about Stress Management. This is the second post. I already posted Stress Management #1 back then, and I told you already about few things regarding the issue. Now, I'm gonna talk further about it. First thing you need to look up is the way you currently cope with stress. How it impacts on your stress management? Have a look at the details below.

Look at how you currently cope with stress

Think about the ways you currently manage and cope with stress in your life. Your stress journal can help you identify them. Are your coping strategies healthy or unhealthy, helpful or unproductive? Unfortunately, many people cope with stress in ways that compound the problem.

Unhealthy ways of coping with stress


These coping strategies may temporarily reduce stress, but they cause more damage in the long run:
  • Smoking
  • Drinking too much
  • Overeating or undereating
  • Zoning out for hours in front of the TV or computer
  • Withdrawing from friends, family, and activities
  • Using pills or drugs to relax      
  • Sleeping too much
  • Procrastinating
  • Filling up every minute of the day to avoid facing problems
  • Taking out your stress on others (lashing out, angry outbursts, physical violence)

Learning healthier ways to manage stress

If your methods of coping with stress aren’t contributing to your greater emotional and physical health, it’s time to find healthier ones. There are many healthy ways to manage and cope with stress, but they all require change. You can either change the situation or change your reaction. When deciding which option to choose, it’s helpful to think of the four as: avoid, alter, adapt, or accept.

Since everyone has a unique response to stress, there is no “one size fits all” solution to managing it. No single method works for everyone or in every situation, so experiment with different techniques and strategies. Focus on what makes you feel calm and in control.


I've got several ways for you to cope with your stress. And I'm gonna post them as soon as possible, Insha Allah .
Live your life while you're young ! <3

Falling in Love with Strangers

Just another random flying issue on my mind. I was singing one of my fav song, and it contains "Falling in Love with Strangers". Then suddenly I wonder how it feels. Have you ever felt so? In a sudden I think of meeting someone new and feel a kinda strange feeling warming up my body just like every time I met you. Well, that kinda feeling. I think it must be good to easily falling in love with someone you meet at the first sight. Just if I can do it. It wouldn't be so hurting and taking time to forget you, then, I guess. Have you got my point so far? I juts think, maybe , it might be either yes or no, maybe it ll be helpful to easily falling in love with someone else once your heart gets broken. If it's possible, then this broken heart can be recover soon right? Well, once more, it can be yes or no. Missing you was blue , That's what I feel and I have to find a way soon to turn that blue into red, before it's too late and my heart gets frozen sin...

Home is not a home without a Mother

I read it somewhere on the internet; a home is not a home without a mother. I don't know why, lately I miss her just so much. Surely I miss her and remember her a lot, but it feels different these past few days; it hurts me missing her so badly. I don't know to whom should I tell this, guess my sister won't listen to me anymore if I keep telling her that I miss you, mom ._. Ehe By the way, it's okay. I'm fine. Not totally fine, but I am fine. So then I remember watching a TV show when the guest said something about losing a mother. As what I remembered, she said that there are "first without mom" things that we will have to do as our moms passed away. Then, I rethink about it. Dear my always lovely Mae , I remembered coming home for the first time after you passed away, mom. It felt totally empty. You know, I used to seeing you welcoming me home; then it all felt so much different when I come home now and no one is there welcoming me. At first, I...
