• Get plenty of relaxation: do activities that are relaxing, such as yoga, meditation, a walk in nature or reading a book. These activities can help reduce overexertion and calm the mind.
• Talk to others: talking about your worries and overexertion can help reduce them. Seek support from friends, family members or a professional counselor if needed.

Tips for dealing with stress better

• Accept the stress: stress is a normal part of life and it is important to learn how to deal with it. Try to accept the stress instead of fighting it.
• Determine what you can control: there are things you can control and there are things you cannot control. Focus your energy on what you can control and accept what you cannot change.
• Breathing exercises: deep breathing exercises can help calm the mind and reduce stress. Focus on breathing in slowly through your nose, holding the breath and exhaling slowly through your mouth.
• Do something fun: Doing an activity you enjoy can help reduce stress. This can be something small, like reading a book or watching a movie, or something big, like a vacation.
• Prioritize sleep: sleep is important for reducing stress. Try to get enough sleep and establish a regular sleep pattern.
• Take care of yourself: take time to take care of yourself and relax. Do things that give you energy, such as taking up a hobby, taking a relaxing bath or going out with friends.
