As much as we’d like to avoid it, there’s no running away from stress. It’s everywhere, and it affects everyone. Of course, there are different levels of stress – the kind of stress that is manageable or the kind that is more severe and can negatively impact your health and wellness.
Fortunately, there are lots of ways to manage stress. But first, you must be able to recognize the symptoms. Here we offer ways to not only manage your stress and live better:
Stress is dangerous because it can manifest in many ways, thus causing our mental and physical health to deteriorate from chronic stress patterns. It’s also dangerous because you may fail to notice how stressed out you are until it’s too late!
