Stress management is crucial in "The Wellness Way." Chronic stress can negatively impact physical and mental health. Start by identifying stressors in your life. This might include work, relationships, or financial pressures. Once identified, develop strategies to manage these stressors.

Exercise is a powerful stress reliever. Physical activity releases endorphins, which can improve your mood. Mindfulness and meditation are also effective. These practices help you stay present and reduce anxiety.

Time management can alleviate stress as well. Prioritize tasks and break them into manageable steps. Don't hesitate to delegate or ask for help when needed. Connecting with others is another key aspect. Talk to friends, family, or a therapist about your stress.

Lastly, engage in activities you enjoy. Hobbies and leisure activities can provide a much-needed break from daily stress. Remember, managing stress is about finding what works best for you and making it a regular part of your routine.
