The stress of the stress is more than the stress itself
Stress- A phrase that carries a worrisome aura with it which disrupts the balanced state in a person’s life. Stress is defined as a state of mental tension that a person encounters when faced with a challenging situation.
In a fast-paced lifestyle today, stress has emerged as a common experience witnessed by almost everyone. As per the research, 1 in 2 urban Indians (53%) have experienced stress to the extent that it affects their daily lives. With the rising commitment and demand of today’s lifestyle, stress levels among individuals have seen a significant surge. The pandemic outbreak and the lifestyle changes that followed in people’s lives as a result have made stress a common part of people’s lives. Although stress is a state that, to some extent, prompts individuals to actively address the challenges in their lives, it is also a condition that should be effectively managed so as not to let it overpower an individual in any negative manner.
In today’s world of rapid advancements, managing one’s stress has emerged as a crucial area that can make a big difference in people’s lives by helping them balance their overall well-being. Initiatives like the International Stress Awareness day, which is an initiative on stress and its awareness, helps in not only spreading awareness about this rising challenge but also fosters mental well-being by promoting stress reduction techniques. The International Stress Awareness day this year is campaigning to reduce stress and improve overall well-being among individuals.
Stress impacts everyone in different manners and can stem from various reasons ranging from the workplace to relationships and one’s personal life. Understanding stress, its impacts, and the ways to manage it gives essential power to an individual to take active steps to improve their overall well-being and enhance productivity.
A common perception that lingers is that stress is not measurable. But Solh has transformed this perception with the launch of its latest feature at its platform—Streffie. This blog uncovers the importance of effective stress management and introduces you to tools there in the Solh App, like Streffie, that will help you live a more balanced life.
The Importance of Proactive Stress Management
Stress, which is not addressed and is not managed over time, can have serious impacts on one’s physical as well as mental health. Studies have shown that chronic stress when it goes unaddressed, can cause serious health issues ranging from heart diseases to high blood pressure and even mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. In addition to that, it can weaken one’s concentration or can cause mental withdrawal among individuals.
However, stress management is something that is more than just an occasional address of one’s overwhelming tension. It should involve proactive steps on a regular basis, incorporating stress-relieving practices into your daily life. Being proactive in one’s efforts does not allow small stressors to accumulate and transform into serious problems. Awareness of what makes one stressed and the implementation of fruitful strategies that make it easier to cope with life's challenges.
Feeling in control of one's stress allows for a healthier, happier life, and greater satisfaction in work and personal relationships. And this is where the Solh App comes in, providing the tools that could easily fit into daily life and make stress management accessible and effective.
