If you want to love yourself and your life then it’s a must that you take steps to reduce your stress levels. Yes, I know this has been a challenging year. But taking the time to really look at how you can reduce excess stressors will pay off big. Here’s three areas

One – Money Stress

Money makes the world go round. However, a lack of financial stability can cause undue stress and worry in your life and addressing any issues as soon as they can stop them from snowballing into bigger problems than they need to be.

Sit down and make a detailed list of all your expenses and your income and see how and where you can make changes. If your income has been cut, it may be that you need to apply for unemployment support until you are back on your feet. Reducing what you pay for outgoings such as cable TV and swapping for a fire stick to allow you to watch your favorite TV show still can save you money.

Negotiate on other bills and see if you can agree with your creditors until you get back on your feet.

Two – Believing You Need to Do More

The holiday season especially can be really stressful, and for some, this stress is exacerbated by other people. If socializing or meeting others is causing you extra stress and worry look at how and why you get stressed and any triggers you can easily identify.

If it is the burden of doing everything yourself, they ask others around you to help ease the load or look at areas you can cut back. Sometimes, all the added extras may look and feel amazing to do for others. Still, if you are worrying yourself to meet expectations, maybe you need to lower your own expectations and help yourself to lower your stress levels so you can enjoy this time.

Three – Neglecting Self-Care

Neglecting yourself will only make you feel more stressed. No matter what time of year it is. We all suffer from stress and stressful situations in our lives at some point but failing to look after ourselves can have a huge impact on our lives and our mental health.

Focus on making sure you are keeping hydrated and eating well to help you stay positive and focused on working through any stressful life events. As much as possible, try to be kept to your sleeping routine and avoid late nights sitting up worrying about what you need to do. This will make the situation feel much worse, and even more so when you are tired too.

There are many small actions you can take to help reduce your stress levels, but in the first instance, you need to be proactive about addressing the issue before coming with a solution to tackle it.
