“It can so easily feel like we are in a state of upheaval with social, political, and economic issues stirring up emotions inside of each of us. Add them to your personal, work, and financial concerns, and you may just feel like you are drowning. These emotions are often generically labeled as stress.
While that may be the case, acute stress has a tendency to become chronic stress if not properly addressed, and chronic stress may eventually lead to anxiety and/or depression. While we can’t change the time we live in or some of the circumstances we find ourselves in, we can change how we approach daily stressors that come our way!
As the saying goes, “garbage in, garbage out,” and this is true with our thoughts and emotions. A very easy way to deal with stress is to think good, positive thoughts, and if we can spend time doing things that bring us joy and a sense of peace, we may be able to calm our anxious minds and handle the daily stressors that come our way.
Herbs can also help us manage stress in our lives! ” Herbal Academy
