Managing stress involves recognizing the sources and signs of stress, as well as implementing strategies to reduce stress. There are two types of stress - positive stress which provides stimulation, and negative stress which creates an unpleasant environment. While stress cannot be eliminated, it can be managed through various therapies and lifestyle changes. These include meditation, exercise, spending time in nature, deep breathing, cultivating hobbies, and maintaining a healthy diet and positive outlook. Adopting changes in thinking patterns and behavior can also help manage stress and improve overall health and well-being.
