Coping with and managing your stress is one of the best ways to look after yourself in these times.
There are no two ways about it, 2022 has frankly been a bit terrible for everyone. Our lives were paused and then shaken up from March when the pandemic pervaded every corner of a functional society, from the closure of schools and workplaces to the need to stay in our homes for months on end. This seismic change in our way of life has left all of us feeling a bit confused, anxious, and uncertain. Now that summer is winding down it’s vital that we try our very best to look after our mental and physical health in preparation for the winter.
Stressful situations, negative thoughts, and negative emotions are one of the biggest aggravators for our mental and physical health. When our body undergoes stress it weakens our immune system which makes us more susceptible to illnesses and viruses, it also means that your recovery will be slower as the immune system will have to work harder to fight. Stress and anxiety also take a massive toll on our mental health, overwhelming our thoughts, and making us feel exhausted, exasperated, and lower self-esteem.
