Tip 3: Interests
Surround Yourself with People of Similar Interest
Being around people that share your interests, hobbies or ideas is a great way to stay ahead of stress. Join a group and make new friends, meet people from a variety walks of life. Make time for your hobbies and interests.
By doing so you can experience a new sense of self-assurance. It aids in taking your mind off your current predicaments, thus allowing a calmness to enter your mind.
Expanding Interests
If you feel your emotions building up, it is recommended to find activities to do, or people to talk to, just to aid in calming down. Sometimes it helps to build new connections, to try different activities than normal, or think outside of the box.
It is highly suggested that one try something new, something that you may not have any interest in at the moment. If you love physical activities, make a change and try something more mentally stimulating, or the other way around.
