How to Overcome Stress: 10 Simple Ways to Reboot Your Day

Confide in a mentor or therapist. This is a major way to overcome stress

Stress is a part of life. Everyone has moments when they feel stressed to their limit — from juggling school, work, and relationships to juggling the pressures of modern life. But all that stress isn’t necessarily bad, because it helps you confront challenges and find solutions for them. Stress can be a positive force in your life if you know how to manage it well. 

We all know what stress feels like: Your heart beats faster; your breath quickens; you feel like the walls are closing in. If it goes on too long or gets out of hand, stress becomes dangerous, accelerating the production of cortisol (a hormone produced by our adrenal glands) and triggering anxiety attacks, insomnia, and other symptoms of prolonged stress syndrome. Here are some ways to deal with stress more constructively so that it doesn’t negatively affect your health and productivity at work or school.

- Go for a walk.

- Talk to a friend.

- Meditate.

- Exercise.

- Practice mindfulness.

- Confide in a mentor or therapist.

- Make sleep a priority.

- Celebrate the small things

You're good to go again!
