How can you maintain a positive attitude when you're stressed?

Stress generally comes from a feeling of not being prepared or not having a plan - ultimately not feeling in control of the situation. 1. It’s always great to remove yourself for 5-10 mins, you could go to a different room, a local cafe or a quiet place and write down a list of everything that’s making you feel stressed; Anything at all that’s on your mind and adding to the feeling of being overwhelmed. 2. Next, just highlight the ones within your control and rank them in order of urgency and importance. 3. For the top 2-3, write down small little steps you can do for each one, and just start. Anything else on that list is either out of your control or not important enough to stress over.

The foundational knowledge that stress is a bodily function is really important. It's a threat response to something either real or imagined. We all experience it in unique ways but know it is your body trying to protect you from something. Where it becomes a problem is when we start stressing about the stress or get uncomfortable and try to not feel it. Instead, if you just notice it as a sensation and ask yourself "what is my body trying to tell me" you have a better shot of channeling it for a more useful manner. Also, having tools to handle it this way makes your odds of your stress not lingering and becoming chronic. This is where things get way worse.

These are the things that has helped me: 1. Mindful Breathing: Take slow, deep breaths to center yourself. Focus on the present moment, calming the mind and reducing stress. 2. Positive Affirmations: Remind yourself of your strengths and past successes. Affirmations shift focus from stressors to capabilities, fostering a positive mindset. 3. Break Tasks into Steps: Divide overwhelming tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Tackling one at a time promotes a sense of accomplishment, easing stress and maintaining a positive outlook.

Analysis of cause of stress that affect your mood. I used to Be calm take a glass of water and breath in breath out of 2-3 minute. Dont react in the mood of stress or do not commit.

Maintenir une attitude positive en période de stress commence par une prise de conscience et une identification claire de la source du stress. Il est essentiel de comprendre ce qui déclenche ces sentiments afin de pouvoir élaborer des stratégies appropriées. En examinant de près les causes du stress, on peut développer une approche ciblée pour les gérer. Une fois la source identifiée, il est utile de diviser les défis en taches plus petites et gérables. Cela permet de rendre le processus global moins écrasant. Ensuite, focalisez-vous sur ce que vous pouvez contr?ler plut?t que sur ce qui échappe à votre emprise. Concentrez-vous sur les actions que vous pouvez entreprendre pour résoudre ou atténuer la situation.

Jocko's "Good" mindset is a helpful reframe. Rather than pitying yourself because you have multiple projects due at the same time, see the situation as an opportunity. The challenging situation you’re facing forces you to develop a solution. With that solution in your toolkit, this same situation won't trip you up in the future. Rather than becoming a debilitating problem, this stressor is a growth opportunity. With the right mindset, your biggest problems suddenly become your greatest opportunities.

One of the best ways to practice reframing is via “inversion”. If you’re struggling with a challenging task or overwhelming stress, attempt to come up with a list of all the ways you’d fail coping with stress. Humans are wired to survive and this inversion will make the opposite (the solutions) clearer. This type of reframing can truly make an enormous impact.

Il est crucial de reconna?tre l'importance de reformuler sa pensée et ses émotions. En cultivant une mentalité de croissance, considérez les défis comme des occasions d'apprentissage plut?t que des obstacles insurmontables. Pratiquez la réévaluation cognitive en rempla?ant les pensées négatives par des affirmations positives. En exprimant ses émotions de manière constructive, que ce soit par l'écriture, la discussion ou d'autres formes d'expression artistique, on libère le poids émotionnel.

Ein Weg ist, nicht alle Geschehnisse pers?nlich zu nehmen und sich ein Stück vom Alltag zu distanzieren. Es ist wichtig zu unterscheiden, welche Rahmenbedingungen und ?u?eren Umst?nde man beeinflussen kann bzw. welche Rahmenbedingungen man hinnehmen mu? und nur die M?glichkeit hat, die eigene Einstellung im Umgang damit zu ver?ndern. Hier ist eine Erinnerung an das ?Gelassenheitsgebet“ von Reinhold Niebuhr f?rderlich: ?Herr, gib mir die Gelassenheit, Dinge hinzunehmen, die ich nicht ?ndern kann, den Mut, Dinge zu ?ndern, die ich ?ndern kann, und die Weisheit, das eine vom anderen zu unterscheiden.“ Diese Erkenntnis hilft mir zu einer emotionalen Entlastung, denn wozu soll ich mich über Dinge aufregen, die ich sowieso nicht ?ndern kann?

There's something unsettling about reading AI-generated content, right? It awakens the rebel in me! AI-generated content sounds like the navigation system in our car. A patient "turn right", repeated as we approach the intersection. And if we're past the point of return, the system calmly generates an alternative route and presents it to us with its euqilibristic voice. Reframing thoughts & feelings is similar. It's usually done automatically by our brain, called "cognitive dissonance reduction". If in a situation our brain "refuses" this automatic re-calibration of our experiences, we can do so intentionally to get moving again. Sometimes that's important. And sometimes it's important to stay with the refusal. You choose!

The Hedonic Treadmill theory explains our tendency to return to a baseline level of happiness over time, irrespective of positive or negative life events. It unveils the illusion that we often find ourselves trapped in - the endless pursuit of "more" - more success, more assets, more accolades, believing that they hold the key to everlasting happiness. So, what's the silver lining? It's the empowering realisation that happiness is not an external treasure to be chased but an inner state to be cultivated. It nudges us to shift our focus from the external to the internal, from the transient to the enduring, encouraging us to forge a path of contentment that is less about acquiring and more about being.

1) Whenever pessimism/negativity creeps in, give thanks for everything you have at that moment. After giving thanks for >10 things, the mood gets better. Keep giving thanks until your mood goes above the baseline happy level. 2) Since comparison is the thief of joy, only compare with the person you were yesterday. There is no point in comparing ourselves with anyone else since we are moving on our own timeline. As long as anything in today's me is better than yesterday's me, life is good. 3) Accept that things will go wrong, as well as the resources and circumstances (good and not-so-good) that we are blessed with. Only when we truly accept whatever we have today and experienced so far, then we can be thankful and move forward in life.

One of the most actionable ways to practice gratitude in your day to day is to imagine it’s everyone else’s birthday. Recognition, validation, affirmations, appreciation and thankfulness are all commonplace when you find out it’s someone’s birthday. Using this as a mental model can help remind yourself that every day is what we choose to make it and gratitude is the fuel for positivity

I would definitely agree. It’s so easy to point out what is going wrong when pursuing goals and dreams. The thing I’ve found helpful is to continue to be grateful and celebrate the small wins. Sometimes I don’t even realize that I’m farther ahead than I think I am.

Gratitude is a game changer. You cannot focus on being thankful and be stressed at the same time. When you focus your thoughts on what you are grateful for, stress will begin to melt away and you will be able to think more clearly.

Physical well being and mental well being are bi-directional. When you improve one, the other also is impacted positively. Same for negatives. One of the most essential ways you can think about this is by looking at a car. You can’t drive without fuel/charge. You can’t drive with a broken windshield or popped tires. You especially can’t drive fast. But if you fuel up well, you’ll not only drive fast but also be in good shape when it’s time to park.

Prendre soin de sa santé mentale et physique est crucial en période de stress. Outre l'identification des sources de stress, intégrer des activités artistiques comme la peinture ou la poésie offre une échappatoire créative, permettant d'exprimer les émotions de manière libératrice. Ces formes d'expression artistique agissent comme des exutoires, contribuant à soulager le poids émotionnel. Parallèlement, la pratique régulière d'un sport, tel que le karaté, offre des bienfaits physiques tout en favorisant la libération d'endorphines, améliorant ainsi l'humeur et réduisant le stress.

Genusstraining kann einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Wohlbefinden leisten. Es geht darum, im Alltag bewusst positive und angenehme Gefühle zu erleben. Diese F?higkeit ist vielen Menschen im Laufe der Zeit abhanden gekommen. Deshalb ist es wichtig, sie zun?chst einmal zu trainieren, damit sie zur Gewohnheit wird. Genie?en bedeutet, ganz bewusst und aufmerksam mit allen fünf Sinnen wahrzunehmen. Wenn wir genie?en, spüren wir unseren K?rper und sind ganz bei uns. Wir erleben ein Gefühl von tiefer Zufriedenheit, Stress und Anspannung werden abgebaut und wir k?nnen neue Energie tanken. Zum Genie?en braucht es kein besonderes Ambiente - es geht sehr gut und leicht im Alltag: beim Essen, Duschen, Kaffee trinken, Spazierengehen, Telefonieren, Kochen...

Coaching and therapy can be incredible resources for emotional health. Having a safe space to build self-awareness, share vulnerable experiences and reflect on past/present/future experiences with a trained expert can be transformative. While they won’t do the work for you, they are exceptional tools that can be leveraged both proactively and in times of acute need.

Asking for help is the ultimate cheat code in life. You know how it's easier to give advice than take advice? It's because the other person has distance from the situation and can come up with a more objective solution to a problem. When you try to tackle it on your own the emotional burden of a situation can cloud your judgment and make it difficult to come up with answers. Your best bet is always a trained professional but even running a situation by a friend is a quick way to get a new perspective or just get it off your chest.

I’m not one for pollyanna, but there is a magical process in developing some degree of resilience during times of stress. It’s called eustress. This is good stress. Stress can be perceived as a good thing when you have a few things in mind: 1. A change of mindset. Normal stress keeps you fatigue. But when you tell yourself “this moment is stretching me as a professional,” it reframes the struggle into a challenge. 2. Gratitude over affirmations Research often shows speaking “things into existence” aka affirmations often has weak outcomes. Gratitude is the process of saying aloud what’s already happening. “I’m thankful for my car, my spouse,” etc. Its a reminder of what you have, and often makes you feel lighter afterward. Good luck.

This may be controversial but you can decide to not be stressed. You decide how you want to feel each day and you can decide to feel a different way. When I notice the sensation of stress coming on, I decide that this is not how I want to feel and shift into a different feeling that I would prefer instead. I may do this but stepping outside and getting some fresh air, putting on some music that changes my mood, but I don't let myself stay in that stress zone for long. Once I am aware of it, I choose to move to a different feeling that better serves me. That alone helps me move into a more positive attitude.

Eine sehr gute übung gegen Stress und für positive Emotionen ist Lachen. Lachen kurbelt die Produktion und den Abbau von Hormonen an: die Stresshormone Cortisol und Adrenalin werden abgebaut, Endorphine, Dopamin und Serotonin werden freigesetzt. Lachen wirkt damit gegen Stress - sofort, kostengünstig und ohne Nebenwirkungen. Lachen und sich gestresst fühlen funktionieren nicht gleichzeitig. In Verbindung mit dem Lachen wird die Atmung tiefer und das parasympathische Nervensystem, das für die Entspannung des K?rpers sorgt, wird aktiviert. Man kommt zur Ruhe, ?ngste und Stress l?sen sich langsam auf. Lachen f?rdert auch die emotionale Ausgeglichenheit. Das Kreisen von Gedanken und Bewertungen wird unterbrochen, man wird offen für Neues.

La gestion du temps est cruciale : établissez des plannings réalistes, priorisez les taches et accordez-vous des pauses régulières pour recharger vos batteries. La qualité du sommeil joue également un r?le majeur dans la gestion du stress, donc assurez-vous d'avoir une routine de sommeil saine. La pratique de la gratitude peut aussi faire des merveilles : prendre le temps de reconna?tre et d'apprécier les aspects positifs de votre vie peut aider à contrer les sentiments de stress. Enfin, la communication ouverte avec des amis, des mentors ou même des professionnels de la santé mentale peut fournir un soutien précieux et offrir des perspectives différentes pour aborder les défis.

Etre à l'écoute de nos besoins et de nos limites est indispensable pour ne pas être dépassé par le stress : faire des pauses régulièrement, remplir son agenda de manière réaliste, savoir dire non... sont autant de garde-fous à prendre en compte ! L'utilisation de la technique Pomodoro peut être une solution pour organiser sa journée :)
