Have some “me time”

We all need some time for ourselves from time to time to relieve stress, right? Stress occurs when certain factors, such as some events that make you nervous, major challenges, or interacting with people that you don’t like, increase the stress hormones in your body. So, your body thinks that it is threatened and is trying to defend itself. In other words, stress is just a biological response to triggers or a sign that something is worrying you.

According to Rachel Goldman Ph.D., psychologist, and clinical assistant professor, NYU School of Medicine, “learning to de-stress is very important. If you’re typically at a high-stress level, to begin with, it can make managing stressful situations much more difficult and as a result, can take a greater toll on your health.”

“If you can fit in some ‘me’ time into your day on a daily basis, your overall stress level or baseline is lower. Making sure you have good coping mechanisms to deal with stressors is important to our overall wellbeing as we age,” Goldman added.
