Life has plenty of challenges, things sometimes become so difficult that they seem unsurpassable. Imagine having to go to the first day of a new job. Even if you worked in a similar job for years you can still be stressed. It becomes even worse if it’s your first job.
The moment you have something challenging at hand you can get overwhelmed not knowing what the next step should be. For example you reach the legal age to start driving with a car. It’s something you have never done before and you feel motivated to finally decide for yourself when you are going somewhere. Unfortunately despite the motivation you are feeling anxious about the new challenge. This may cause you to lose motivation and create the urge to quit driving. The best thing to do is to talk about the stress to the people close to you and to continue driving despite the stress that is caused. You may avoid to drive at the busy locations you started at but you should avoid driving completely.
In times of great stress or adversity, it’s always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive. – Lee Iacocca
When you are stressed about something don’t focus your efforts on the situation that invokes stress. Rather then focussing on it continue different things and implement a bit of it from time to time. For example if you are stressed about having to give a presentation in a week it wont help to constantly think about it. Rather spend some time on it and then go for a walk or call a friend for getting your mind some rest.
If you become stressed don’t burry your head and do nothing. Rather go for small but important actions that will help you in the long run. For example if you are stressed for the exam that is coming up and the learning goes slow do some research on the topic. It keeps you busy in the same topic but it changes your pace from constantly reading the same textbook. It’s better to stay busy with something linked to the topic rather than avoiding it completely. The more you avoid working on it the worse the result will become.
