From the WHO, Stress is defined as:
- A state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation.
- Stress is a natural human response that prompts us to address challenges and threats in our lives.
- Everyone experiences stress to some degree.
- The way we respond to stress, however, makes a big difference to our overall well-being.

From the WHO these are the best ways to manage stress:
- Learn stress management
- Keep a daily routine: time for regular meals, time with family members, exercise, daily chores and other recreational activities
- Get plenty of sleep: sleep repairs, relaxes and rejuvenates our body and can help reverse the effect of stress
- Connect with others : Keep in touch with family and friends and share your concerns and feelings with people you trust. Connecting with others can lift our mood and help us feel less stressed.
- Eat healthy: What we eat and drink can affect our health. Try to eat a balanced diet and to eat at regular intervals. Drink enough fluids. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables if you can.
- Exercise regularly
- Limit time following news : Spending too much time following news on television and social media can increase stress. Limit the time you spend following the news if it increases your stress.
Hope this helps everyone! Send me a message to request an appointment if you find yourself still struggling on your own!
