As long as you're alive, there will be pressure, and it's truly everywhere, but we can't let it crush us. Being able to handle our own pressure well is also a great ability.
So, how can we improve our stress resistance?
1. Reduce self-blame, focus on progress
At work or in studies, when reflecting on what you've done, don't just focus on what you didn't do well or where you fell short. If you've done your best, look at the good aspects of your work or studies and boost your confidence in doing things. Reduce self-blame for what you didn't do well and often pay attention to your progress in life.
2. Lower expectations
Many times, the failure of something has a lot to do with our own expectations. If your expectations for something are too high, after reflecting on it, you'll feel like you didn't meet your own expectations, leading to a great sense of disappointment. As the saying goes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
3. Change your mindset
Set certain work or study plans, then build confidence in successful execution, and firmly believe that you can do it. You can make the plans more specific each day, check them off after completion, and reward yourself for finishing tasks. During this process of gradually completing tasks, you'll increasingly discover your strengths and foster more of a fighting spirit to take on challenges.
4. Find outlets for venting
Often, the best way to handle pressure isn't to bottle it up but to vent it. However, venting pressure shouldn't be done recklessly. For example, if you're under a lot of pressure, you shouldn't go and hit someone. The best way to vent pressure isn't to base your happiness on others. When under a lot of pressure, you can write, go for a run, punch a pillow, etc., using channels that don't harm others.
5. Enhance physical exercise
Don't think that exercising has no relation to improving stress resistance. Strengthening your exercise regimen builds your body, boosts your immune system, and allows your body to focus more energy on studies or work. Additionally, as you see your physique improving day by day, your mood will naturally improve. Also, releasing pressure through exercise is a very good choice.
6. Prepare in advance
This doesn't mean just having the tools ready before you start working. It means being mentally prepared, ready for the worst. This way, you won't be overwhelmed by the bitterness of failure after completing a task. Furthermore, you'll be pleased that the work isn't as bad as you thought and won't feel like a complete failure.
We hope this article can help everyone and that all those forging ahead can properly face their stress, learning to release emotions in life. Because tomorrow is worth looking forward to.
