While dealing with stress we experience many things like the fears of the past, future as well as present. The same stressful situation or thoughts keep replaying themselves in your mind and make you worry more. It so happens that the stress increases and becomes a monster in itself more than the actual issue. After the pandemic, the lack of work for tasks to do in fear of survival had made many people stressed and think about certain situations that they cannot do it. You have often hard to let go of all the negativity and stressful thoughts that you have but it is not easy or probably not possible at all.
So holding yourself in stressful times and letting your brain work on how to find a perfect solution for the situation is a practice that we all need to do.
