How often do you feel stressed or anxious? If you're anything like me, you're feeling it almost every day! In our busy lives, stress is an inevitable companion, but managing it effectively is crucial for maintaining overall well-being. The demands of work, family, and other responsibilities often leave little time for self-care, leading to burnout and exhaustion. This month, we’re focusing on balance and self-care, essential components of a healthy lifestyle. Our third tool in this series is the Stress Relief Toolkit, designed to provide practical strategies for managing stress and promoting a sense of calm and balance in your life.

What is Stress Management?

Stress management involves a variety of techniques and practices aimed at controlling a person’s level of stress, especially chronic stress.

It encompasses emotional, physical, and psychological approaches to ensure a balanced and healthy life.
