The 3 Steps to Overcome Stress

1. Figure out why you're stressed

The first step is the most important. You need to remember situations that you were really stressed about and find the reasons behind the anxiety. What did make you stress? Was it because you were afraid of failure, a bad score, letting people down? Nothing is that important to ruin your day, and make you feel low. Let's see an example, if you're still pretty young like me then tests and exams must be one of the things that stress you the most, why do you worry about them? Is it because you will fail a class, or that your many hours of studying were for nothing? If you are stressed because you didn't study, I have no idea how you can fix the nervousness, but in case you're scared of letting yourself or others down then you need to stop worrying. If you know that you've tried your best, then the people or situations that worry you do not worth your it. 

Once you figure out why you stress, then everything will become so much easier. Letting anxiety affect you is not something you can overcome quickly, but you need to start and put some personal effort to deal with it. Stress-less people are so much happier. 

2. Feel Prepared

That's the key. In everything in life, you need to be prepared to have the best results. Having the illusion that you're ready for anything, gives you much more confidence than you think. You don't have to be prepared for any possible obstacle, but primarily for the situation that you have to face soon such as, an interview, an exam, a game, or anything else. 

From my experience, every time I felt ready, I did way better, because I knew that the outcome was the best I could reach with the abilities I obtained. What I advise you is to know your worth, and that there are no limitations in what you can succeed. No one can stop you neither does stress!

3. You can't change the outcome

You don't choose how a story is gonna end, so stop worrying about it. What is gonna happen, will happen, and no one knows what tomorrow brings. See life from the bright side, and you'll feel immediately more relieved. Live the moment, and do things that make you genuinely happy. If things don't go the way you want them to, it's not your fault. You can get prepared to deal with every possible outcome, or even try to prevent some situations, but there will be moments in your life that will scare you and pull you down. Don't let them. Try to keep yourself strong, next to the people and things that bring you closer to your most confident self.

Personally, I have had times that stress made me perform my tasks better, however, not having any gives me so much more freedom and relief. I know that there are so many problems out there that you probably can't overcome with those little steps, but don't let the struggles define who you truly are! Find comfort in the difficulties, and life will eventually become easier.

So that's it! These are the steps I followed to deal with my stressful personality!
