Do you often experience headaches, fatigue, restlessness, disturbed sleep pattern, mood swings or change in appetite? These could be the signs of stress.
While moderate levels of acute stress may enhance your performance, long-term or chronic stress can be really draining. Stress that’s not dealt with impacts both mind and body. Thus, it’s important to incorporate healthy coping mechanisms.
The two types of coping strategies are (1) Emotion-focused & (2) problem-focused. While emotion-focused strategies help us to be calm or lighten our mood, problem focused on the other hand is to deal directly with the present stressor.
