Fight against stress
To begin, let’s be clear: stress is part of life. It’s a normal reaction of our body when a situation is perceived as a threat.
Now, it’s important to know that there are different types of stress:
- Physical stress (related to exercise or impacts),
- Mental stress (related to workload or new situations),
- Emotional stress (related to traumatic events or relationship conflicts),
- Environmental stress (related to noise, electromagnetic exposure, etc.),
- and Behavioral stress (related to social pressure, lack of money, etc.).
Stress can be a driver: it boosts focus, motivates you for an exam, or helps you finish a project. But when it becomes chronic or too intense, it harms your health.
Here are 8 practical actions to reduce stress day to day:
Only you know what stresses you out ! If not, talk to a healthcare professional because just recognizing the cause is a big step.

This reflection may help you find a lasting solution—or at least respond better next time.
