Mental wellness improves when you learn how to regulate stress instead of letting it regulate you. Stress will always be a part of life, but when it goes unmanaged, it begins to control your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Learning to regulate stress means recognizing when your nervous system is activated and intentionally using tools (like breathing, movement, boundaries, or rest) to bring yourself back to balance. When you respond to stress with awareness and support, rather than urgency or avoidance, you protect your mental energy and strengthen your overall resilience. Have a stress free Saturday!
