"Take control of your stress and be your own doctor with these simple tips."

New Delhi 08 April (VNI) In today's fast-paced world, stress has become a common phenomenon that affects our physical and mental well-being. However, with the right mindset and approach, it is possible to control your stress levels.

The first step towards managing stress is to identify the triggers. This can be done by maintaining a stress journal and noting the situations that cause stress. Once the triggers are identified, taking action and avoiding or mitigating the stressors becomes easier.

Next, it is important to practice self-care. This includes getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and taking breaks to relax and unwind. Meditation and breathing exercises can also be helpful in reducing stress levels.

It is equally important to have a support system in place. This can include family, friends, or even professional counsellors. Sharing your feelings and concerns with someone you trust can go a long way in managing stress.

In conclusion, by being aware of the triggers, practising self-care, and having a support system, it is possible to take control of your own stress and live a happier, healthier life.
