Stress is natural reaction to our fear. We feel anxiety more to come up with new situation. So, anxiety accrue when we do not have control over something. For example, when we get ready for exam, we have anxiety to get good grade.
Initially, we can be stressed for no reason because our thoughts lead to stress. In this mention, our thoughts about future can cause our stress in daily life. Because we always want to feel prepared to handle everything in our life. Also, we are more stressed for no reason than when we experience more difficulty in our life. Beside that, when we have been ignoring, we have more stress to come up with every situation. Moreover, tending to be complete perfect lead us to more stress. To illustrate, when we want to hold very high standards for ourselves, we work harder and longer than others to be the best in everything.
Next, when we feel a constant state of worry, fear and dread, we make mistake more and we could not control our daily lives. Excess stress can decrease performance and concentration. So, we could not enjoy of our activities. Because our minds jump into the worst situation. Therefore, we must control the level of stress in our life.
Finally, we can manage our stress and calm our mind. We could relax our body with going for a walk and do exercise regularly, listening to music, have a fun with our family and have good sleep. Beside them, practice self-compassion and mindfulness are so useful to stop worrying a lot.
