Mental Health Quick Check Step 1: Identify the source of stress in your life. These are called “stressors”.
Step 2 : Adjust to or avoid the stressor Learn to just say “no” and don’t take on more than you can handle. If possible, stay away from people that stress you out. Alter your environment (Play quiet music, organize your work space, drive a less hectic more scenic route, avoid crowds by shopping online and make to do lists for personal and professional goals.) Step 3: Accept the things you cannot change. Recognize that there are things that you do not control. However, do not let those things control how you feel. The bills have to be paid and your financial situation is what it is at the present time. Worrying will not make it better.
“Life can always change, you just have to adjust.” – Drake

Step 5: Start a journal Journaling is an effective stress management tool. To be most helpful, one must write in detail about feelings related to stressful events. Journaling allows people to clarify their thoughts and feelings, thereby gaining valuable self ‐ knowledge. It also allows you to hash out problems, process events and release anger or other emotions involved.
