Energy-based model explains how chronic stress transforms into disease over time

Stress management isn't just about understanding the problem—it's about actionable solutions.

Exercise, even a brief walk, reduces cortisol and boosts mood-enhancing endorphins.

Meditation and mindfulness, once seen as trendy, are now scientifically proven to rewire the brain for better stress handling.

Nutrition plays a surprising role; omega-3-rich foods like salmon can lower stress hormones.

Quality sleep, especially deep sleep, allows the brain to reset and repair.

Finally, don't underestimate the power of social support. Sharing your struggles with others can significantly lighten your mental load.

Agree, with all in full sans the last one. Of course, if you're struggling, seek support.

We all have bad days or even bad weeks, life happens and often it's best to learn this. The current fad (?) of "I'm going to experess my non-positive feelings as they are all the time" gives too much weight to what are normal passing moments.

I don't want to say being a hypochondriac is normalized (else I might get canceled) but... Words, they create worlds. It's important to be mindful of what we choose to create.

Belief drives behavior, and when allowed to perpetuate the victim mentality can cause unnecessary (semi) permanent damage. It's perfectly normal to experience some pain. Don't make more of it than necessary.
