If you are experiencing stress, you are not alone. Right now, there are many other people in your community and all around the world who are also struggling with stress. Mental health as we all know by now is important for our overall health. It refers to how we feel, think, and act and the way we handle our stress. We can also define mental health as emotional, behavioral, and psychological well-being. The ability to handle our emotions and stress is necessary to maintain peace in the body and the mind.

Stress can be defined as anything that is putting body under a phase of tension. Thoughts, emotions, feelings, or any event that makes us feel frustrated and anoyed.
Emotional stress puts physical stress too on the body and bodily functions. An “emotional storm” means that you experience intensely difficult thoughts and feelings. They are so strong they are like a mighty storm, and they can easily overpower you.

Grounding is another exercise we can do to reduce stress or manage stress symptoms. It consists of making yourself more present in the situation. The first step is to notice how you are feeling and what you are thinking. Make sure you breathe slowly and gently. Notice where you are, who is with you and what you are doing. And as you breath in, also do so slwoly and gently. Grounding does not make your emotional storms disappear. It just keeps you safe, until the storm passes. Another method is unhooking, where you identify and write about things that are bothering you or keeping you hooked and then get rid of them. The next step is to refocus on what you are doing – whether you are cooking, or eating, or playing or washing, or chatting with friends – and to engage fully in that activity; to pay full attention to whoever is with you and whatever you are doing.

Its important to note that “taking a break” doesn’t necessarily mean a vacation or even a full day off- A lot can be done to reduce stress overload in just 10 minutes a day!
