Stress is part of everyday life, but when it becomes extreme, it can affect your sleep, focus, and overall well-being. Fortunately, there are proven ways to regain balance and peace of mind.
1. Recognize the Early Signs
Extreme stress often shows up as headaches, fatigue, irritability, or sleepless nights. Learning to spot these symptoms early can prevent burnout.
2. Practice Mindfulness
Mindfulness reduces tension and helps you stay present instead of feeling overwhelmed. Try short breathing or meditation breaks throughout your day.
3. Try Breathing Techniques
A few minutes of deep breathing can quickly calm your nervous system. Techniques like 4-7-8 breathing or pursed-lip breathing are easy to learn and highly effective.
