3. About Stress Management
If you are currently feeling unwell, it could be because of stress.
If you keep working hard while unaware of your stress levels, it could take a toll on your health so it would be wise to be aware of signs of stress.
Some of the signs might include irritability, short temper, sudden bouts of crying, depression and lack of motivation. Some other signs may be lack of interest in seeing people and trying to avoid them.
In the body, stress can show up as tense shoulders, headaches, stomachaches, insomnia, lack of appetite and over-eating.
Pay attention to your stress levels, take breaks as needed and consider getting evaluated by your doctor.
