spunout is working proudly in collaboration with Schuh to provide practical information for minding your mental health and wellbeing. One thing that can have a big impact on your mental wellbeing is stress. Stress is a part of life, and it isn’t always a bad thing. Experiencing some stress can help motivate you to take action, it can help you make decisions, and it can help you figure out what’s important or when you need to make a change. When stress builds up too much, it can become overwhelming, make life more difficult, and hold you back from doing what you want to do.
Developing strategies that you can use to manage your stress levels can help you live a happier and healthier life. The articles below contain information and techniques on managing stress and other difficult emotions.
