In order to have objective data to take into account when stressful situations do arise, it is crucial that we attempt to create a baseline. What baseline do you have? How do you act or move when everything is stable, quiet, and content? Do you find yourself stirring things up with a little chaos when you're bored? Do you tend to become a little anxious or tense? Do you ever feel a little depressed and find it difficult to find a connection?

These are not always signs of a condition related to mental health, but they are crucial questions to ask the self. Ups and downs are common for humans. I want to make it common knowledge that we live in a time of stress and that it's critical to find ways to unwind after a trying day or incident. Managing your thoughts and avoiding letting them take over is one method to achieve that. Professionals in mental health refer to this as "Putting your thoughts on trial." Stress is common, and we frequently lack a constructive way to let go of the ideas that race through our heads. If this is how you're feeling, consider this:

What is making people think, if it's not immediately apparent.

Where is the proof behind this upsetting idea or series of ideas? For instance, suppose you have a bad experience at work and you find yourself thinking about it often. Maybe you believe it will have some bad effect.

Try those thoughts! Imagine yourself in a courtroom with a judge, jurors, lawyers, and the bad guys!

Request to see the supporting documentation for these ideas. · Is there a Teams message or email that provides proof that the ideas are sound? · Did someone say the words that you are afraid of in a conversation?

Evidence should be taken at its value; it should not be distorted or shaped in any way by your anxious thoughts.

If there isn't any proof, you should probably disregard the idea and not give it any weight. Frequently, our thoughts are not on our side.

As you deal with the tension and negative thoughts, keep a few things in mind.

1 . Keep in mind to breathe—and breathe properly—slowly, deliberately, and with deep breaths. This will help you solve any difficulty that comes up by assisting the area of your brain responsible for reasonable thought.

2 . Keep in mind that your brain cannot tell the difference between drowning and improper breathing due to stress; both will undoubtedly give you misery.

3 . Keep in mind that you are valuable and that assistance is accessible. Find a friend, relative, colleague, or counsellor who will assist you get through this difficult period if you have done everything you can and stress is still weighing you down and interfering with your everyday routine.
