How to deal with an unpleasant situation?
Penalties for road traffic offenses when driving or inappropriately built car, unplanned meeting on Friday afternoon, unexpected illness of a child or other loved one - many unexpected situations in life that we react differently. The harmony of our thoughts and emotions depends on what we have the skills to overcome stress. What we can not control - the surprises caused by the human or natural elements - has always been and will be.
However, we can control our reactions to complex life situations, learn how to deal with everyday stress properly, and take care of yourself wisely.
Some objective facts:
No one has immunity to unpleasant, painful situations.
Something bad for someone you are not prepared for can happen both in personal life and at work.
Discomfort just happens sometimes.
We can always find a way to solve a disadvantage.
Skill skills can help to cope with unforeseen challenges.
Unexpected, uncomfortable situations can be overcome by clarifying the regulations (this is how we think about the problem).
To better understand how to deal with unforeseen circumstances in life, you will find it helpful to familiarize yourself with the following 9 strategies for dealing with stress.
1. OBJECTIVES REALLY POSSIBLE
To control your responses to stressors can take the following steps:
Identify who is driving you. Try to create a list of unpleasant events that negatively affect you (delays to work or colds, illness, etc.). Take them out according to their importance - according to the strength of the stress. This will make you more aware of what is most challenging for you. A more objective look at the specific stressors you face today will weaken the feeling that stress is all-inclusive, uncontrollable. Then you can take the next step - look for solutions.
Events are always accompanied by emotions. When trying to analyze the situation caused by stress, try to reject them. This will make you more objective, look at the situation in the country and see more options.
Finding a solution is worth trying, for example, using the Thought Rain method: spontaneously identify all possible ways of solving the problem; After capturing everything that came to mind, examine each option carefully, try to imagine the consequences of having one or another solution to the problem.
Try to look at the situation more objectively, find something in it. For example, instead of just being angry with your manager, try to reflect on the merits of your work.
Try to see the whole: what you can expect in your work, what will be your personal life in a month, in a year.
Remember that you have already mastered and resolved a similar situation in the past.
Remind yourself that whatever happens, everything will be fine for you.
You will find that there will be stressful situations in the future.
Watch people who know how to react appropriately and don't get stressed in stressful situations - try copying such behavior.
Recognize what you cannot control and direct all energy to where you can actually change something.
Responding to stress, observe your attitudes and remind yourself that you can overcome this problem and find a way out of any situation. Positive attitudes will help you deal more effectively with stress and find solutions.
2. HUMOR GELB
Try to look at the humor in a stressful situation, find something comic in it. Laughter relaxes tense emotions, our body, and thoughts, restores balance and sense of happiness.
Humor, playfulness can help you to relax in some awkward situations, and to solve problems with each other. Humor gives energy to thinking, promotes creativity. Maybe when a boss comes in accidentally or if his coffee is splashed, can you find a way to ridicule? This is the strategy I am pursuing and educating young children - playful ridicule suppresses tension and helps tame the kid.
3. BE PHYSICAL ACTIVE
The scientifically proven benefits of physical activity are not only physical but also emotional for our well-being. Active physical activity can help to relieve stress, burn up accumulated anger, and quench tension. Exercise not only distracts our thoughts from everyday worries but also promotes the release of endorphins that are responsible for our good mood in the brain.
Try to move as much as possible. Ways to do this can be found in the workplace: stroll: take a 5-minute break, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Generally, at least 30 minutes should be spent on sporting benefits, but even without much effort, physical activity contributes to your well-being. The rhythmic physical activity associated with the training of arms and legs is the most appropriate for the relief of stress. These can include running, walking, swimming, cycling, aerobics, etc.
4. ACTIVE COMMUNICATION
We are soothed and healed by our close, warmth and love-free relationships. Pleasant communication gives positive emotions, allows you to relax. such relationships need to be developed daily. Creating and maintaining social relationships can help you:
- Finding people at work.
- being with the people you love.
- Call or email to an old friend.
- Helping others, volunteering.
- Meeting new people, joining a club or taking a new appointment.
- Invite friends or acquaintances to a cinema or concert.
Social inclusion is one of the most sedative and effective ways to reduce stress. No one in our nervous system will think about how safe and intelligent communication with another person is. This experience is like drugs for our nervous system.
Try to communicate less often with people who cause you unpleasant emotions - to communicate with those who soothe you, with whom you feel relaxed.
Learn to say no, set boundaries, review your work calendar, and think about not having too many commitments.
Try to control your environment: if the western news thrills you - just turn off the TV; if you are too annoyed by road congestion - choose another maybe a longer, but calmer route.
Plan your time! If you are constantly in a hurry, you may be helped by a special gadget on the phone, a work scheduler in an electronic calendar, where you can set deadlines with a reminder. Good day-to-day planning, the anticipation of work, and clear scheduling help avoid unnecessary stress.
Try to forgive others. Unfinished things, conflicts, and grievances are damaging to your emotional health. Forgiveness is sincere work with you, opening the way for new, beautiful relationships.
Compromises help preserve relationships and ideas. This allows for a better understanding of others, their needs, and capabilities.
Express your feelings, not suppress. Stagnant feelings do not disappear anywhere - bumps inside, tension and stress. Learn to speak clearly and do not ignore the necessary needs.

6. RESPOND TO STRESS OTHERWISE
Sometimes we respond to stress the way we feel best at that time. We try to calm our emotional emotions and thoughts. Often, stress relieves us from inappropriate habits that are more harmful to our health.
- Bad habits we try to suppress stress:
- Smoking.
- Excessive alcohol intake, excessive consumption.
- Unhealthy diet, soothing snacks, overeating.
- Spending time on a TV or computer.
- Closure from friends, family, activities.
- Use of relaxing medicines.
- Sleeping too long.
- Postponement.
Excessive employment every minute trying to avoid a problem with the problem.
Anger and its spillage on others (bugs, screams, violence against coworkers or relatives).
The more often you are, the less you share, the more difficult you are to deal with stressful situations. Try to get in touch with your family, friends and see regularly - face to face. Stress needs not to solve the problem, but to calm down the person who listens to you. You will be able to look for better solutions yourself.
Useful habits to help relieve stress:
Talk about difficulties with others - sometimes they can learn a lot. Sharing your feelings helps you find emotional support and encourages change. You may also find other ways to relieve stress.
Take time for yourself. Every day we try to find some time for pleasant relaxation, for your favorite activities. During the workouts, take a walk during the breaks, get away with yourself.
Perform relaxation exercises, soothe your tensioned body (eg progressive muscle relaxation technique, breathing techniques, visualization exercises).
Engage in spiritual practices - prayer, meditation.
