How do you manage stress?
It happens with everyone that most of the time we burn out in stress and it reduces our productivity.... mostly it is suggested that to escape out of stress we should divert our like watching movies , memes and all but that's a temporary management... thoughts will come again nd will continue to trouble you
Sometimes escape mechanism does not work nd we need to deeply analyse the root cause of stress... we find that it's just because of Overthinking Sometimes about our future , results nd what not
If the cause is not in your control leave it completely because it's unnecessarily draining your energy...
And other reason for stress is Sometimes that we consciously know that we are not doing certain things we need to do in a right way... but we keep ignoring our inner consciousness... that's where analysis plays an important role... do not ignore your inner instincts... if you feel like something is going wrong analyse it... and start working on it rather than just Overthinking about it.
I know it's not gonna be easy but it's worthy...
Have a productive day ahead. 🌷✨
