We all had/have that time in our lives when stress took over and being burned out from the responsibility and pressure of life was/is all that we could feel. Not only does being stressed affect our mental wellness, but most times, it could lead to physical harm as well. So even though stress is a cog in the machine of all of our lives, that does not mean we should let it take over and control the narrative.

 

Being stressed can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. It can also cause physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and muscle tension. Prolonged exposure to stress can weaken your immune system, making individuals more susceptible to illness.

 

If you are a business owner, you should know that stress can affect work performance, and that will lead to decreased productivity and job satisfaction for your employees. No one performs well, flourishes, or evolves in stressful environments and that’s why it’s important to take steps to reduce stress in your workplace and prioritize your employees’ wellness.
