Let's face it; we all feel stressed sometimes. How we manage that stress can make all the difference. You could consume to cope; alcohol, food, social media, gambling..... Or you could do what's healthy; connect, with yourself through mindfulness, or with others through relationship. In the "Let it Go" series finale, we wrap up by providing a toolkit to manage the unavoidable stress that life can/will bring, and a parting mantra we hope you remember: "When stressed, connect, don't consume." Takeaways - Stress and loss of control can be challenging, especially in high-pressure situations. - Healthy ways to respond to stress include mindfulness, meditation, reading, and decluttering. - Connecting with oneself and others is essential for finding joy and balance in life. - Getting outdoors and connecting with the environment can have a positive impact on well-being.
