Re: How to cope with stress and strain
EB, here's a list of what you can do:
- First try to figure out if the cause of your stress is something in your control. If it is, you take try to work around a solution, and if not, then you accept that and focus on yourself.
- Taking a stress reliever does help. Please see your doctor and ask for a prescription.
- Recite and listen to Surah Rehman.
- As much as you can distract yourself, when the stress is so much, you cannot escape it. The only thing you can do is make a conscious decision to get out of it. Problems never go away, we just learn how to handle them better.
And remember that Allah only gives us what we can handle. InshaAllah it will pass soon.
