Some helpful stress relief ideas.

2. Reducing the importance of negative thoughts. In the head of many, a “tape of worries” is formed, which is spinning in the head. Anxious thoughts keep us from acting, sometimes even from sleeping. There is usually no practical benefit from them. Scientifically, this is called rumination. The easy way out here is to remove the importance of such thoughts. Tell yourself something like: “these thoughts happen” and imagine that you “let go of these thoughts, like a cloud into the sky and they fly away.” Yes, the thought may not go away. But it will no longer have a strong effect on you.
