Intrapersonal Communication Based on Qur’an Values in Managing Stress

Abstract

Stress is a psychological condition that is often experienced by individuals due to the pressures of personal, social, and professional life, and has the potential to disrupt mental and spiritual balance. One approach that can be used to manage stress is intrapersonal communication, which is the process of an individual’s internal dialogue in understanding and responding to their life experiences. This article aims to examine intrapersonal communication based on Qur’anic values as an approach to managing stress. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach through thematic analysis of Qur’anic verses related to self-control, patience, dhikr, tafakkur, and tawakal, and supported by psychology and communication literature. The results of the study show that the internalization of Qur’anic values in intrapersonal communication plays an important role in forming a positive mindset, increasing self-awareness, and helping individuals manage emotions and stress adaptively. Intrapersonal communication based on Qur’anic values also contributes to creating inner peace, strengthening psychological resilience, and maintaining mental-spiritual balance. As such, this approach is relevant as a holistic and contextual stress management strategy in dealing with the challenges of modern life.
