There are days I feel like the woman in the image all drained, wrapped in invisible threads of worry and passing through the street of exhaustion  
The world keeps shifting, faster than my mind can process. Expectations rising, responsibilities pilling up, and sometimes it feels like I’m sinking quietly beneath it all. Managing stress in this ever-changing world has become more than just a choice, it’s survival and its for intentional peeps.

Over time, I’ve learned that stress doesn’t vanish on its own. In that you have to create moments of calmness in the storm. Start by slowing down by allowing myself to breathe, to feel, and to rest without guilt. Making peace with the fact that saying no doesn’t make me selfish, it makes me sane.  

Take breaks from screens, 
Choose long walks over long worries
Listen to music that soothes the noise in my head
Writing down your thoughts as it helps you understand them, and talking to someone you trust releases the weight you carry on your inside 

Learn to prioritize sleep
 Eat with intention, and remind myself that healing doesn’t happen overnight. 

Managing stress is not about running away from life; it’s about finding balance in the middle of it. 
It is choosing stillness when the world feels restless, choosing to care for yourself the way you would care for someone you love.

Yes, the world will keep changing, not slowing down but but so will I change. And in that change, I’m learning to choose balance over burn out, peace over pressure. 

Ladies of hive,don't let stress ruin your mental health nor take a hold of you; learn to manage it, remember it is one steady breath, one mindful breath at a time.
