STRESS AND ANXIETY
Stress and anxiety are common experiences for most people. In fact, 70% of adults say they feel stress or anxiety daily. Furthermore, stress is manageable and it may sometimes be avoidable.
WAYS TO RELIEVE STRESS AND ANXIETY
REDUCE YOUR CAFFEINE INTAKE TO BE STRESS-FREE
Caffeine is a stimulant found in coffee, tea, chocolate, and energy drinks. Furthermore, high doses can increase anxiety. Although many studies show that coffee may be healthy in moderation, it’s not for everyone. In general, a moderate amount is considered to be three cups a day or less.
WRITE IT DOWN
One way to handle stress is to write things down. Another approach is to write down what you are grateful for instead of what you are stressed about. Gratitude may help relieve stress and anxiety by focusing your thoughts on what’s positive in your life.
SPEND TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONES
Social support from friends and family may help you get through stressful times. Being part of a friend network gives you a sense of belonging and self-worth, which may help you in tough times.
