Stress and coping

Stress is the body's natural response to challenging situations, triggering feelings of pressure or tension. Coping refers to the strategies we use to manage or reduce this stress, helping us adapt and maintain well-being. Effective coping might include problem-solving, seeking support, relaxation techniques, or healthy habits. While some stress can motivate and improve performance, chronic or intense stress can harm health. Understanding your stress triggers and developing coping skills can enhance resilience, balance, and overall mental health.
