Stress has both direct and indirect effects that can lead to depression. Directly, stress leads to irritability, sleep disruption, and cognitive changes. Indirectly, stress disrupts a person's normal coping mechanisms, relationships, routines, and can lead to unhealthy coping. All of these things can lead to depression, but you can take action to prevent it. It is very important to understand your own stress responses. This means being mindful and keeping a journal of what situations, or life struggles lead you to become stressed, so that you can tailor your life accordingly and avoid or make a plan to manage these pitfalls. Make sure to exercise, get plenty of fresh air, and take advantage of mind-body exercises such as yoga and tai chi, which are incredibly effective in calming the mind and reducing stress. Regular meditation is also one of the most effective ways to reduce stress and may prevent depression. Many people neglect to schedule time to relax when planning their daily lives. To help you deal with the negative stressors in your life, it is important to be conscious of and make a deliberate effort to schedule relaxation time that promotes mental health and reduces stress. Plan your day to include something that gives you pleasure because having something to look forward to is very helpful in getting through tasks that are not so pleasant or are causes of stress. Think positive, and reward yourself when you are successful and try not to dwell on failures. Accept that everyone, including you, has limits and cannot succeed at everything. Instead of allowing your mind to be consumed by the things you struggle with, focus on the things you do well. When people are trying to put more stress on you, assert yourself in a positive, non-threatening way. Recognize that accepting the demands people try to place on you is a matter of choice, and you don’t need to take on everyone’s stress as your own. Over commitment is one of the most significant causes of stress, learning to say no, understanding and setting your boundaries and making yourself a priority can avoid burnout. Getting daily hugs, finding something to laugh about, and practicing gratitude, have all been found to be beneficial in maintaining a positive outlook, staying happy, reducing stress, and preventing depression.
