Write down important things that can cope with stress

People who are stressed can improve their ability to solve problems by taking a few minutes before the work day to start writing some important things for them.

For example, writing a short essay about the importance of friends and family can prevent the effects of chronic stress on the ability to complete our work.

The conclusion comes after researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (USA) asked 73 students to rank 11 values, including relationships with friends and family, politics and music to a degree. important to them, according to The Telegraph newspaper.

Participants were divided into two groups: one group wrote about why the first place made them headache and the second group explained why the things they ranked low were important to others.

After that, all participants completed a problem solving game. Accordingly, in the second group, those with the highest level of stress in recent months have lower scores than those who are stressed as low as nearly 50%.

Meanwhile, those who suffer from chronic stress and are asked to write down what is important to them before completing the above-mentioned game get high marks like those of low stress.
