6 Key Steps
Recognize Overload
Stress triggers the «fight or flight» response: rapid heartbeat, sweating, anxiety. This isn’t weakness—it’s biology. Identifying it helps you regain control.Ground Yourself
Clench your fists, take deep breaths (4-4-4), and press your feet firmly on the ground. Calm your mind and restore logical thinking.Move Your Way
Engage in 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week (brisk walking, yoga, Zumba). This improves mood and helps prevent anxiety and depression.Consider Vitamin D
A deficiency is linked to depression. Take 2000 IU daily (consult your doctor) and get moderate sun exposure.Take Care of Your Mind and Gut
80% of the nervous system is in the gut. Eat probiotics (yogurt, kimchi), fruits, and vegetables while reducing processed foods.Seek Help If Needed
Fatigue, apathy, or constant anxiety are signals. Consult a doctor or call a helpline if you have thoughts of self-harm.
