Tips for Reducing and Controlling Stress

1. Be Realistic: If you are feeling overwhelmed, learn to say no to any activity that is not absolutely necessary.
2. Pray and make the dua of the distressed regularly: Just take time in your prayers and reflect, say the supplications for the morning and the evening every day and believe that you will get better.
3. Exercise: physical activity may relieve stres. Be sure to talk with your doctor before beginning any exercise program to ensure that you are able to do what is required physically.
4. Enjoy Hobbies: Take a break by gardening, reading a good book, sitting outdoors, or enjoying some other hobby.
5. Practice a healthy lifestyle: focus on good nutrition, limiting caffeine and sugar, getting sufficient rest but not too much, exercise, and balance work and play.
6. Share your feelings: Stay in touch with friends and family. Don't try to cope alone. If you don't have any friends then try to join an online support group or talk to someone in your community about any community social groups you can join.
