JAKARTA - Pressure must always be there in life that comes from family, friendship and even work. Human being really needed stress in order to develop, but the pressure has to be managed constructively in order to provide benefits, not bad effects.
Clinical psychologist Lathifah Utami, a member of the Indonesian Psychological Association, revealed how to manage stress well so as not to lead to mental health disorders. "Know the root of the problem and determine the steps to solve it," said Lathifah, quoted from ANTARA, Wednesday, October 12.
He said if someone finds it difficult to deal with it, find someone who is trusted or considers competent, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist for discussion.
Thus, problems can be seen from another point of view. The discussion also resulted in references to solving different problems. "Hopefully, we will be better prepared to overcome these pressures," he said.
Another way to manage stress is to take the time to do activities you like.
"Often when we focus on issues such as work, we forget the need to do fun activities for ourselves such as hobbies, recreation, relaxation," he said.
In fact, fun activities are needed to maintain balance in life. He also suggests making priorities, because stress can arise when various tasks, responsibilities or choices are present in front of someone at the same time.
"Therefore, making priorities can be the first step," he said. Determine priority based on level of importance and urgency. Thus, a person can focus more on solving problems and determining their steps.
After trying all the energy, the last thing you can do is pray and be sincere with the results.
"When efforts have been deployed to address a problem, then hand it over and hand over the results to God Almighty," he said.
Pray for the best results. But if what happens doesn't match your wishes, make sure that it's the best thing and there will definitely be lessons to learn.
