Stress is a normal part of life, but chronic stress can have harmful effects on both the mind and body. Symptoms of unmanaged stress include:

⚠️ Anxiety & Irritability – Increased levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) can heighten feelings of anxiety and frustration.
⚠️ Sleep Problems – Stress can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia or fatigue.
⚠️ Weakened Immune System – Chronic stress weakens immunity, making you more prone to illness.

To reduce stress, try relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and exercise.
