12 Ways to Turn Your Crippling Stress into Happiness

“The more you smile, the less anxious you are. More compassion, less judgment. The more blessed you are, the less depressed you are. More love, less hatred. ”~ Roy Bennett

You are a slave to stress.

I can relate. Stress ruined my life and my dreams.

I started a business and received a lot of criticism for this decision.

Everyone was sure I would fail. My friends and family attacked me while I was fighting my confidence.

My depression level was extremely high.

Then something terrible happened. My business failed, and I lost all my savings. I was crushed.

It took a long time to finally accept this failure.

Today, whenever I work out, the pressure still lies in my body like a shadow of my dark age. But now I know how to deal with it. Let me teach you how.

1. Consider finding an animal.

Sharing negative feelings with close friends can greatly reduce stress. Studies show that spending time with pets eliminates stress in a similar way. Also, when you are accompanied by an animal in stressful situations, it prevents your stress level from rising.

I have a cat. He was my only friend when no one supported me. Thank you for having him by my side.

If you do not have a pet, consider getting one. It can change your life in amazing ways.

2. Stop focusing on your problems.

Kant State University has received an eyewitness account. Clearly, the more you talk about your problems, the more likely you are to suffer from depression.

After all, it's healthy to share your experiences. But if you focus on your problems, it will not solve anything.

I never talked to anyone about my problems because no one supported me. This motivates me to look for solutions instead of fantasizing about things that might happen to me.

If you are lucky enough to have supportive friends, seek their support. The important thing is to not only cry about your problems, but actually do something.

3. Clean yourself with gifts.

He is working hard for you.

You take success lightly. Worse, he exaggerated the failure.

When you reach a goal, you are moving ahead with your goals. If you don't, you're in for a rude awakening. You reprimand, demean, and demean yourself.

I was there. I know this hurts.

Reward yourself by reaching your goals. Studies show that when you are rewarded for an action, you are likely to repeat it. This is called a good response loop. It is more effective than punishment.

When you experience stress for failure, without happiness in success, the result is the only stress.

When you find happiness in success, without the stress of failure, the only result is happiness.

4. Use bad habits to your advantage.

I used to run away from problems. When the depression hit, I would just give up whatever I had been working on and run away.

You may have heard this.

Safety can include overeating, unhealthy eating habits, TV, the Internet, porn, smoking, and drinking. In time, they developed bad habits.

Use the escape by using it as an anchor.

Choose alternative activities, such as meditation, stretching, listening to stimulating conversations, sleeping, or light exercise.

Before you escape, do thirty seconds one way first.

Say you are angry with your boyfriend. You think you need to eat junk food to calm down. Before that, meditate for 30 seconds. Then you are free to enjoy yourself.

Do this for two months. Then add a good time to the weekly routine, until a good habit is completely absorbed in the bad.

In this way, I created new automatic responses to stress and completely gave up my escape habits. Now when I feel depressed, I take a short nap or move on to uplifting music.

After a few minutes, I was rejuvenated and encouraged to face new challenges.

5. Let go of your anger (and cry yourself to sleep).

Do not always try to appear completely calm. You need to express strong emotions - for example, anger.

Discuss your worries with friends. Write down your anger and analyze it on paper. You can even deal with frustration with confidence.

Remember to let go of resentment. Do not throw away your anger or cry out in a hurry. Present it as a solution to problems.

This also applies to other difficult feelings, too, such as grief. It's okay to express these "bad" feelings.

6. Reach higher altitudes by allowing yourself to spend more time.

I have learned to accept my hurtful failures. You must. Otherwise, I would be completely destroyed and discouraged from pursuing anything else.

Some people cannot accept mistakes. Everything has to be perfect from the start. They think that others will look down on them if they see that they are wrong.

These people are often oppressed.

The happiest and most successful people focus on development. They love mistakes and mistakes, because they see them as opportunities to grow.

Learn from these people.

Have lofty goals, but set reasonable goals. Do not judge yourself by the consequences of your actions. See them as a response and seek improvement from there.

7. Be ashamed of not doing things.

You do not have the time or energy to do everything you want to do.

Inevitably, things are left untouched, and you hit them. This creates stress.

Think about what is truly important to you. Kill everyone else shamelessly.

In this way, you gain more time and control over your life as you progress.

I focus only on my work and my relationships. I have put aside some aspirations, such as a military artist and calligrapher, because they are not comparable in importance.

8. Proclaim war against foolishness.

I am clearing my house. It is now clean and tidy. When I am inside, I feel more relaxed, focused, and in control.

Psychologists have found that cramps compete with your attention and overload your brain. This stresses you and impairs your ability to think.

Trash this useless crap brutally.
