Mental Health & Mood

We are all exposed to stress on a daily basis; it is how we react to the situation that determines our physical and mental response. Some people seem to have a high capacity for handling stress, while some of us seem to struggle a bit more.

Be mindful and become aware of the present moment as you read through this blog. How is your breathing? Is it shallow or is it rapid? How is your posture? Are you slumped over, or do you feel that your shoulders are elevated? Are you clenching your jaw, or holding any tension in your neck? These are all some common physical presentations of stress. If stress is not handled appropriately, it can lead to some negative and serious effects on your health.
