1 Identify your stressors

Identifying the causes of stress is the first step to managing it. Stressors can vary depending on personality, circumstances, and preferences, but some common ones for people with visual impairments include accessibility issues, social isolation, discrimination, adjustment, and health. Once you identify your stressors, you can prioritize them and decide which ones you can control or change and which ones you need to accept or adapt to. For instance, if you're having difficulty with transportation accessibility, you could look into assistive technology or other solutions that could help. On the other hand, if you're facing discrimination or stigma due to your visual impairment, it's important to accept that this is an issue that's beyond your control.

I agree, first is needed to recognize physical sensations, emotions, and changes in behavior that indicate stress. Recognizing YOUR physical and emotional signs of stress. Some kind of self-awareness exercise. Then, openly discuss experiences and challenges with trusted individuals, caregivers, or professionals. And try to notice environmental factors, such as changes in routine, social interactions, or physical barriers, that contribute to stress. Finally, you could develop strategies to navigate and mitigate stressors, such as using assistive technology, seeking accommodations, or modifying environments. If the stressors cannot be removed then you should try some of the following techniques.

2 Practice relaxation techniques

Relaxation techniques are methods that help you calm your mind and body and reduce the effects of stress. Examples of relaxation techniques include breathing exercises, such as deep breathing or alternate nostril breathing, meditation, such as mindfulness or mantra meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, such as tensing and relaxing different muscle groups in a systematic way, yoga, such as performing gentle poses or stretches, and music, such as listening to soothing sounds or melodies. You can practice relaxation techniques at any time of the day but especially when feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. Additionally, you can use assistive devices, like audio guides or headphones, to help you follow the instructions and enhance your experience.

Para mí no hay nada mejor que los ejercicios de respiración. Estos los pueden hacer todas personas. Existen diferentes técnicas, a mí la que más me gusta es: Respiración de agua/ Respiración equilibrada 4-6 respiraciones por minuto Cuando respiras de 4 a 6 respiraciones por minuto, tiene un efecto en tu sistema nervioso. Si la respuesta de tu sistema nervioso es alta en ese momento, la bajará; si es baja, la subirá. Tú puedes practicar esta respiración mientras estás de pie, sentado, acostado e incluso mientras conduce. Es como beber un vaso de agua, siempre es seguro, apropiado y bueno para la salud.

3 Seek social support

Social support is the availability and quality of relationships that provide emotional, practical, or informational assistance. It can help you cope with stress by providing empathy, validation, or encouragement; offering advice, feedback, or guidance; helping to solve problems; sharing experiences, feelings, or perspectives; and providing companionship, fun, or distraction. You can seek social support from family, friends, professionals, and groups through various means of communication such as face-to-face, phone, email, text, video, and assistive technology such as screen readers or speech recognition.

Its not wrong to seek support and if you feel its burdening, please break the stigma. People support is a need not a necessity. You need to get some social support to feel stable emotionally. Just take a phone and give a call to someone who really cares for you. Not to burden them to listen to you for hours but a 15 to 20 minutes talk can actually heal you in many ways. You can also take up professional support as well as they can help you in detail and specific for your concerns.

4 Engage in meaningful activities

Meaningful activities are those that give you a sense of purpose, fulfillment, or joy. Engaging in meaningful activities can help manage stress by boosting self-esteem and confidence, expressing creativity or passions, contributing to a cause, connecting with values and beliefs, or expanding knowledge and horizons. You can pursue meaningful activities in various domains such as work, education, leisure, volunteering, or personal growth. You can access these activities online, offline, individually, or collectively. Assistive technology like magnifiers, scanners, or voice synthesizers can also be used to help you participate and perform.

5 Develop a positive mindset

Having a positive mindset is a way of thinking that focuses on the positive aspects of yourself, others, and situations. It can help you manage stress by reducing negative emotions, increasing positive emotions, enhancing resilience, and improving your outlook. To develop a positive mindset, consider strategies such as affirmations, gratitude, optimism, reframing, and self-compassion. You can practice these strategies when facing challenges, setbacks, or disappointments. Additionally, you can use assistive technology like apps or podcasts to help you learn and apply these strategies.
