Sadly, stress can impact more than every aspect of a person’s life. A demanding career can eat into a person’s home life, while a tense or fractured personal life can impact a person’s performance at work. For this reason, it is essential to develop healthy coping mechanisms so that you can free your body of worry, tension and anxiety. To do so, find out how to stops stress from spiralling out of control.
Banish Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms
The first thing you must do is banish unhealthy coping mechanisms from your lifestyle, such as excessive drinking or eating, as they could be causing you more harm than good. For example, it is common for some people to develop an alcohol addiction or drug dependency to manage the overwhelming emotions building up inside of them. If you are living with an addiction, immediately seek treatment to take back control of your life. There are healthier products mentioned on Herald Net to help you combat unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Slow Down & Talk to Someone
Stress or anxiety is your body’s way of telling you that you need to slow down. Whenever you feel overwhelmed by a situation, take a step back, take a deep breath and then continue at a pace that suits your needs. Think about whether you could delegate a task to another person, or if you can scratch a job off your to-do list. Stop trying to do everything yourself and try to move at a slower, less stressful pace.
However, if you are struggling to take control of your rising stress levels and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, it is vital to talk to someone, which could prevent you from developing depression or crippling anxiety. For instance, if you are feeling pressure due to a rising task list at work, talk to your boss about how you could potentially reduce your workload or delegate tasks to others. If you are living with a personal problem, it might be beneficial to confide in your spouse, a friend, family member or the Samaritans.
Don’t Underestimate the Importance of Self-Care
It is easy for people to neglect themselves when attempting to meet tight deadlines, juggle multiple tasks or deal with personal problems. However, you shouldn’t underestimate the importance of self-care when dealing with stress. For example, melt away tension from your body with a hot bath with Epsom salts. Regular exercise can also lift your mood and help you to banish stress. You could also distract your mind from your problems by embarking on a hobby or reading a good book. It’s the small things that can make a big difference to your emotional health.
Also, using CBD Oil can also help you relieve stress and sleep better. So it is worth getting some of the CBD Oil if you don’t have it already.
Remind Yourself that the Stress Will Pass
It’s easy to feel as if stress is never ending when you are struggling with your emotions. It is, however, important to remember that this difficult period in your life will soon pass. The anxiety and tension you are feeling are only temporary, and you’ll soon feel emotionally stronger. Simply take it one day at a time and realise that life will get better, even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time. Remind yourself that you will overcome your stress.

You always bring nice stuff to share. Hey I am running a series of interview with successful bloggers like yourself. My first interview was with an HGTV and better home and garden’s blogger and this week I am featuring a 4th interview with an other big blogger. Would you be able to spare sometimes for me for the interview as well? Stay blessed and stay connected.
Glad you like the posts. It would be lovely to get involved in the interviews. Will get back to you.
Thank you so much. Which email should I use to send you the question in a week or two please.
Your last tip has helped me many times. It often feels like you are drowning when you’re super stressed but knowing that things won’t always be that bad can help you hold on to hope.
Yes it can. Hope you are doing good.
I am a mother of 3 kids but some times i am really feeling bad specially on special day for women but after reading your tips. i feel relax and calm. now i think that i can face that stressed movements
Glad you found the tips useful.
Stress is so tough to manage and often people don’t see it coming. Good advice.
Yea. It can be tricky to spot.
Definitely need to focus more on healthy coping mechanisms! I’ve been doing a lot better lately with that
Oh good you are.
Great advice! I’ve learnt to take one thing at a time and not to overwhelm myself
Good. That is how I roll now too!
I think it’s important to take a step back every now and again. A long bath, a nice walk, some retail therapy – even a coffee in town with a friend and a good natter. Just leave the stress behind and unwind. It’s important
Yes it is very important.
I’ve been so stressed recently so this is all very good advice. Most of my stress stems from my long work hours though which is not so easy to get away from.
I know all about long working hours. They can be very hard.
I find it hard to deal with stress at times and always forget self-care. I tend to hide it away until it completely takes over. My hubby is usually quite good at spotting it and helping me through it. I’m a worrier at heart so it effects me more than him.
Oh good your hubby spots it quickly.
These are really helpful tips, Stella! I have always struggled setting a pace that won’t overwhelm me. Sometimes, I tend to put too much on my to-do list and need to delegate things more/take a step back. Loved your post! x
Same thing for me sometimes. Always good to delegate as much as possible.
Its not so easy to deal with stress. It can lay to more problematic issues that are hard to deal with. One can try resolving such issues with the therapies present especially to deal with mental health issues. Out of which one is hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy has been so effective in dealing with such kind of issues.
Yes it can be hard to deal with stress but try we must.
Sold info. 👌
Nice 😊
