Stress is normal but learning to handle it well can protect your mental and physical health.
1. Identify the Source–
Write down your stressors: is it work, relationships, or something else?
2. Use Relaxation Techniques
– Deep breathing (4-7-8 method), meditation (via Calm or Headspace), or yoga.
3. Build a Healthy Routine–
Regular sleep, healthy meals, exercise, and staying hydrated reduce baseline stress.
4. Organize Your Time–
Avoid last-minute rushes by planning ahead.– Use checklists or time management apps.
5. Set Boundaries–
Say “no” when needed. Don’t take on more than you can handle.
6. Express Yourself–
Talk to someone you trust, journal your feelings, or try creative outlets like drawing or music.
7. Know When to Get Help–
It’s okay to see a counselor or therapist if stress is overwhelming.
