how to cope with the stress


i was on my lowest point, knowing that some of my goals didnt make it last year. it was depressing though to see that our new year resolution didnt really work. i thought i may not need any of it anymore. but well then i realized i still need goals to have a better directions on how i should live my life, or at least my 12 months life. so i made it. i didnt post it, i only wrote it in my diary (ehm), just because it gets more personal and im not ready to talk about it in public. but anyway, i have few tips on how to cope with the stress since i was reaaaaaalllllyyyy depressed and in a desperation of any help. wish it'll help!


how to cope with the stress

1. stop comparing yourself to others
this thing leads to unhealthy thoughts,obviously. we tend to compare things with the ones we adore; in positive way it makes us have a goal, when the ones we adore tend to be better than us, in most of the things. sometimes, we also see the great things in people we forget to see all the bad things in the 'backstage' that they hide, especially in social media era which people can share anything they want (probably only the good).
we are made original. we have different characters and abilities; we have our own capability and personal achievement, so stop comparing yourself.

2. remember the good things that you've got, be grateful!
sometimes we forget that we still have a lot of great things that people dont have. simply like a mother, a father, siblings, best friends, and all. or if you dont have any of it, you still have health, a few rupiah, food, pretty clothes, fancy bags, or even experiences. there must be some things that you have but others dont. something that you take for granted when the others want it badly. remember. there will be, obviously.

3. have personal goals
when we have certain goals personally, we will be soo focused that we forget the other things, including the stress thingie. dont stop until you got there. dont stop even you're tired. if you stop when you tired, you'll think about the hard works and not-getting-there-already thingies and it'll lead to stress. just doooo your best! and remember, personal goal means personal, it should never be about anyone else but you:)

4. get closer to the ones you believe and the ones that believe in you
getting closer to God helps me so much. like how i believe that Allah loves me much that He would never upset me with His plan with my life, and all. and getting closer to family also a HUGE help. they love me no matter what, believe in me fully even i failed for times. this brings us to a grateful feelings, brings back the love, and makes us stronger than before. really.

hope these little tips help! goodluck:)
