“Stress” refers to our body’s physical reaction to an overload of physical or mental demands. When we feel stress, our body can react in many ways including increased heart rate, trouble breathing, and even shaking. Our minds may also react through anxiety, depression, or agitation. When we ignore stress or push it away, our body and mind continue to build with stress. Instead, we need to address what is causing the stress and find ways to help calm it.
Mediation, yoga, deep breathing, going on a walk, playing with a pet, talking with friends, reading, and exercise are just a few of the many activities that help relieve stress. You must choose the ones that work for you!
Today is #NationalStressAwarenessDay, let us celebrate this day but making sure we take frequent breaks to deep breathe, stretch, and release stress!
