It is important to assess your feelings. Understand the true cause of them to better help understand the effect.
Understand the difference between a feeling and resulting actions.
emotions and behaviors are two different things. Emotion is just emotion until you act on it.
Reducing stress
What is stress?
Stress is defined as any interference that disturbs a persons mental or physical well-being. More well known as negative tolls on our minds and bodies due to the challenges/ups and downs of life.
What happens when stress persists?
Chronic or ongoing stress is bad for the human body all around. It inhibits digestion, reproduction, growth, tissue repair, and the response of our immune system.
Unhealthy stress reduction
Stress can have an especially negative effect of people with victim mindsets as it sometimes causes them to turn to alcohol, drugs, or other bad habits to feel numb to whatever stress they are going through.
Healthy stress reduction
Ways of reducing stress that involve handling it rather than masking or avoiding it. Most people use art or yoga to help cope with stress for example. Others use more textbook methods.
Feeling overwhelmed
Feeling overwhelmed is something that most students face at some point (usually fairly often) and is most commonly seen in college. It often feels as though the individual has lost control over their life.
Many people deal with this issue by avoiding it. Having victim mindsets and saying " I can't deal with this right now.". It is more efficient to attack the problem head on. If you already feel as though you have lost control in your life, slacking isn't going to change that. Trying to keep up with work and get ahead is more beneficial because it gives an individual more perceived control over their life, therefore that overwhelmed feeling is less dominating.
Feeling angry
We feel angry when we feel an attack or injustice against us. Someone with a creative mindset is able to cope with these emotions while keeping their composure and ability to make logical decisions.
