Dealing with stress, one might also feel negative emotion such as anger, disgust, fear or even depression at an extreme level.

One way or another, there are negative emotions that is still left and stuck in your heart. When negative thoughts stay in your mind, you release cortisol and adrenaline, then your body’s self-repair mechanism switches off and your immune system will be suppressed.

Five powerful ways to deal with stress

1. Make your stress your friend.

Stress is not the enemy. Stress by itself is not bad to one’s health. Thus, don’t get rid of stress. Get rid of the wrong belief that stress is bad for your health.

2. Interpret your response as good news.

“In the midst of a stressful event, when your heart is pounding instead of saying,‘Oh, I’m getting stressed out again.’ You say, ‘This is good! My pounding heart is preparing me for an action”’, advised by Richard Tamayo, a powerful speaker.

When you interpret your stress response as helpful, you would be less stressed out, less anxious, and more confident.

3. Care for others even when during difficult times.

It might sound opposite yet there seems to be magic in giving. Mostly, one thinks that order to solve a problem, you should focus on your own needs. Hence, it might be true but, something is changing deep within you when you start sharing and caring for others.

And studies have showed that caring for others reduce diseases and death linked to chronic stress.

4. Learn to let go

Let go of the idea that you can control everything. Let go of the belief that opening up is a form of cowardice. Talk about your feelings. Don’t suppress nor ignore it. Ignoring it may be even worse.

5. Reframe your mind

Try this trick: Reframe you mind. Think in a different way. Reflect on the incident and view it positively despite the situation. This might be tough at first, but definitely worth it.

To quote Richard Tamayo in one of his workshops, “Whatever the challenges or difficult situation, dig for the gem that is always part of what seems to be a stressful situation.”
