How do you manage stress?
I’m at a point in my life where I just cannot take any further stress about things. Either I try to sleep it off, or I overthink until, boom, my migraine gets triggered! And when I get too tired and exhausted, I just pray. Because honestly, there is something so peaceful about turning to Allah when your mind is overwhelmed and your heart feels heavy. When you actually pray, it heals you, calms your nerves, and gives you a sense of peace that is sometimes difficult to find elsewhere.
Over time, I’ve realised that not everything needs an immediate solution. Sometimes, we stress over things we cannot control, exhausting ourselves over situations that may never happen. I try to divert my mind and remind myself that worrying won’t change the outcome; it will only steal my peace. Sometimes, you just need to let go, take a break, and trust Allah with what you cannot control.
Lastly, surround yourself with people you can be your true self around, without any shields or filters. People you can vent to without fear of judgment, knowing they’ll understand, support you, and make you feel safe enough to be yourself 🤍
