There is a chance to completely get rid of stress, but for this you need to really, really, really try. As a maximum, give up everything material and earthly, at least realize, within reason, that “all is vanity and catching the wind.” The first option is not for everyone, the second is less specific, but also problematic, and also not suitable for everyone. If you are not going to transfer documents for an apartment to the first charitable foundation you come across and go live in the mountains, if you still have a lot of plans for yourself and your life, then it will be enough to simply reduce the amount of stress. It is important that it does not control your life, does not cause discomfort and does not lead to serious consequences. What can be done for this? Many sources advise meditation, yoga, taking care/pampering yourself, etc. These are good ways to relax, but they are useless if you are your own source of stress. And no matter how much you sit in the lotus position and inhale aromatic oils marked “relax”, nothing will work. The angry uncle or auntie sitting in your head will ring bells: “Why are you sitting there, tomorrow is the deadline!”, “Is this how you prepare for the exam?”, “Are you sure that they will cope there without you?” Remember, I talked about the importance of a successful result? The same story! Based on the above: The task of coping with all these negative attitudes comes first. To do this, it is important to work on yourself, starting with self-esteem and ending with your worldview and even working on your meanings. Then, if you have self-confidence, if you have stability, the ability to withstand difficult, uncertain situations, to accept failure, then there are all the conditions for calmly enter a situation with a sober head, become more involved in the process and enjoy it. Being able to let go of control, trusting myself and others, focusing on what I can do and not on what I can’t is also in our bag. The next step will be to understand your strengths and weaknesses and develop strategies for behavior in stressful situations. Here, first of all, it is important to learn to detect the moment of entering and remaining in a state of stress. Sometimes many people don’t even notice stress, because... They are in this state permanently and believe that this is quite the norm. It is also very difficult to react in any other way at a time of stress. This is the next step after “discovering” it. The point is to change your behavior that interferes and reinforces stress with one that supports and removes tension (for example, breathing techniques). And only after all this or in the process of all this work will meditative techniques, yoga, etc. be effective. Pets, pleasant music and even humor also help you relax. Here you can pervert as you please, the main thing is that the chosen methods bring this important effect of relaxation and pleasure. Take care of yourself!
