Hello doctor,

I am feeling very stressed everyday. Kindly provide suggestions on how to control it.

Answered by Dr. Ashok Kumar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. Firstly, I would need to understand the factors contributing to your stress before providing specific advice. Meanwhile, I suggest you follow below mentioned general instructions that apply to everyone:

  1. Acknowledge and accept your feelings of stress and anxiety.
  2. Allow yourself to feel anxious but consider how much is reasonable.
  3. Identify the sources of your anxiety, if not clear, do not dwell excessively.
  4. Stay attuned to your body's responses without fear.
  5. If the cause is known, brainstorm ways to minimize or resolve it.
  6. Focus on responding differently to reduce its impact on you.
  7. Listen to your inner thoughts, identify and challenge negativity.
  8. Be mindful of negativity in others affecting your well-being.
  9. Reevaluate unrealistic expectations and self-imposed pressures.
  10. Celebrate even minor achievements to boost positivity.
  11. Take ownership of your well-being, avoiding blaming others.
  12. Engage in enjoyable activities that do not harm you or others.
  13. Dedicate time daily for relaxation or meditation.
  14. Aim for aerobic exercise three to five times per week.
  15. Prioritize sleep, aiming for seven to eight hours each night.

I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
