Stress Management
According to the World Health Organization (2023):
"Stress can be 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".
Stress affects both the mind and the body. A little bit of stress is good and can help us perform daily activities. Too much stress can cause physical and mental health problems.
Stress makes it hard for us to relax and can come with a range of emotions, including anxiety and irritability. When stressed, we may find it difficult to concentrate. We may experience headaches or other body pains, an upset stomach or trouble sleeping. We may find we lose our appetite or eat more than usual. Chronic stress can worsen pre-existing health problems and may increase our use of alcohol, tobacco and other substances.
