When Feeling Stressed…. Talk To An Upbeat Friend

Sometimes simply talking things out with a person who will listen without judging you or colluding with you is very helpful. This is particularly true when you are feeling stressed. It can help put things in perspective. However, do make sure the person you choose is compassionate, a good listener, as well as positive in their outlook towards life.

You may not want to discuss your stressful situation with someone who is really attached to their way of seeing things as they will probably give you a lecture. And we’ve all had plenty of those! Nor do you want to choose someone who is feeling overwhelmed and stressed themselves. Then you have a case of the blind leading the blind. Instead, choose someone who really cares for you and whose company you enjoy.
