I know that life is tough but you have to be brave and bold to face it.

But, how can you cope with stress in these difficult times without spending a lot of money? How to solve your problems and forget them even in a short time?

I always tell myself, *“don’t think about the problems, think about the solution”.* And I believe everyone should learn it to cope with stress.

# How do you cope with stress?

There are several ways to do this, but here are my top 3 ways to cope with stress.

## Walk with nature

If you ask me, this is the best and most harmless way to cope with your stress.

[Walking with nature](https://ecency.com/hive-155530/@anonymous02/wednesday-walk-boost-your-social-and-mental-health-with-kids-and-animals) is priceless, it is the best natural way to lessen your stress. I am not a fan of leaving our house, I like staying in my room and reading random blogs on the blockchain.

But every time I feel stressed and have a headache because of too much work, I go outside and walk in nature.

You see, I am living on an island, and having trees in the environment is a huge help compared to having big buildings around my area.

Breathing the fresh air makes it refreshing and natural.

## Talk with kids

In case you didn’t know, my usual peers are not the same age, I always talk and hang out with kids. I don’t know the reason but I like teasing them and having fun with them.

Don’t get me wrong, I have friends my same age but I am spending more time with kids compared to them.

Since I rarely go outside, I just go to our neighbor's kids and play with them.

*(I always tease them and I feel the authority – not in a bad way) hahaha! Please don’t think that I am a bully.*

But seriously, talking to them lessens my stress because of the fun that I feel when I am talking to them…while teasing of course.

## Sleep

Oh! In case you don’t know, sleeping is my favorite hobby. I love sleeping every time I feel a headache that is caused by stress.

I always do this when I have a lot of work to do in school and I am starting to burn out. My best remedy is to sleep even for 30 minutes to one hour then continue what I am supposed to do.

Although this is my hobby, I don’t tolerate myself sleeping all the time. I am looking for alternatives like walking and reading because seriously, I feel lazier when I sleep.

Except if it is a [power nap](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/power-naps).

Not to mention, I believe in a power nap, [even the geniuses](https://thecarousel.com/wellness-health/11-most-surprising-famous-people-who-loved-to-nap/) are doing the same thing during their era. (I am not saying that I am a genius lol).

## Conclusion

As you notice, these 3 are natural ways to cope with stress. You don’t have to spend a lot of money just to cope.

These things work for me, I do this every time.

You don’t have to work a lot each day, that is what I learned. You also need to give yourself some free time and forget the problems that you have.

I am very conscious when it comes to myself and I assure myself that I should have “me time” every day so I won’t burn out.

You can do the same things and trust me, it will work!
