    According to the World Health Organization, mental wellness is defined as “a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.”

    In order to do these things we must be able to respond to life's stressor appropriately and responsibility in order to live a healthy life.

    Stress is something that everyone experiences, so learning how to cope with its effects is something that everyone needs to master for their own physical and psychological well-being.

    Those who do not learn and do not use appropriate stress-management techniques can experience a variety of negative effects, including physical illness, psychological illness, damaged personal relationships, poor productivity, and more.

    With that, feel free to try our Stress Management Challenge, with a tracking sheet.
