SleepA Tips: 4 tips to manage stress

by SleepA Mentor

We all experience stress daily.

A small amount of stress can be advantageous, but too much strain harms the body and the mind.

The objective is to manage stress as best as possible while taking time to recuperate from everyday pressures. Stress cannot be eliminated since it would be impossible.

Take a minute

“Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.” — Etty Hillesum

There can be a snowball effect if life becomes hectic. Being busy breeds busyness.

And if we don’t stop the “snowball” from rolling every day, it will only become bigger, quicker, and harder to stop, which will either burn us out or, to go with the snowball analogy, crash into a wall. By consistently and purposefully pausing and taking time for yourself, you can avoid this (even for just a minute).

Build awareness

Recognize how much you do and the toll it takes on your body, mind, and heart on a regular basis. Increasing our understanding of the negative effects stress has on our health might inspire us to prioritize relaxation and break the stress cycle.

Set boundaries

Set boundaries

Since time is a scarce and valuable resource, we feel better when we use it properly. Boundaries help us select important objectives and let go of things that don’t nourish us. Start with a value you hold dear, then figure out what you need to make that value feasible, and the last figure out how you can respect that requirement to build a boundary that supports you.

Bring ease into your effort

Stress is challenging because it interferes with the body’s capacity to function properly. For example, even if you eat a nutritious lunch, your body won’t be able to digest and absorb all of the wonderful nutrients you consumed if you’re stressed out and feel like you don’t have time to eat because you should be working.
