What is stress?
Stress is a feeling that occurs when we are feeling overwhelmed by something going on in our life. It can stem from work, relationships, financial issues, lack of clarity on the future and life transitions. However, being able to manage that stress is important in ensuring that we are keeping a high quality of life. Sometimes, we need a little extra support in managing our stress, and it is important to reach out to a source of support when we are feeling overwhelmed.

Why it is important for people to learn how to manage daily stress?
Constant stress in our lives can negatively impact almost every aspect of our lives, whether that be professional or personal. Being under continuous stress can overtake your brain, as it may end up being the only thing you think about, affecting your memory, energy levels, sleep and even appetite - all necessary functions in our lives.

How we can manage our stress?
Everybody deals with stress differently, as the sources and impacts of it change from person to person. Generally, things like journaling, participating in hobbies or calling a loved one to talk about what it is that is stressing you out can all be helpful in offloading the impact that stress has on your daily life.
