In occasional doses, stress is a natural response from the body. The problem arises when it becomes constant, with no room for recovery — which can affect both physical and mental health.
Strategies That May Help
- Practicing physical activity regularly;
- Setting aside moments to pause throughout the day, even if brief;
- Prioritizing sleep and a balanced diet;
- Trying breathing or relaxation techniques;
- Maintaining social connections and leisure time.
