Stress is a part of life. Everyone at one time or another will experience stress, and the way we know we’re stressed can be different for each of us. Some of us can’t sleep, others might feel physically sick. Most of the time a stressful thing won’t last long- we’ll figure out a solution or it just works itself out. At other times, a stressful situation can last longer and affect our ability to live our life the way we normally would. It’s during these times that it’s important to try out the many ways that can help us manage and overcome stressful situations (American Psychological Association).
