BY RÊVE




Welcome back RÊVE family! We've been abscent for a bit of time but we're back with a new wellness/health post.


Let's talk about stress and chronic stress. Chronic stress can be incredibly debilitating, affecting both our physical and mental health. It can leave us feeling drained, anxious, and overwhelmed, and can make it difficult to enjoy life to the fullest. If you find yourself trapped in a cycle of chronic stress, it's important to take steps to break free and regain control of your well-being. Here are some tips to help you do just that:




1. Identify the source of your stress

The first step in breaking free from a chronic stress cycle is to identify the root cause of your stress. Is it your job, your relationships, or a specific situation in your life? Once you have pinpointed the source of your stress, you can start to address it more effectively.


2. Practice mindfulness

Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and deep breathing exercises, can help you to stay present and calm in the face of stress. By focusing on the present moment, you can reduce anxiety and worry, and cultivate a sense of inner peace.


3. Establish healthy boundaries

Setting boundaries is essential for protecting your mental health and well-being. Learn to say no to things that drain your energy and make you feel stressed, and prioritize activities that bring you joy and relaxation.


4. Take care of your body

Physical health and mental health are closely linked, so it's important to take care of your body in order to break free from chronic stress. Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly. These habits can help to reduce stress levels and improve overall well-being.


5. Seek support

Don't be afraid to reach out for help if you're struggling with chronic stress. Talk to a therapist, counselor, or trusted friend or family member about your feelings and experiences. Sometimes, simply sharing your thoughts and emotions can help to alleviate stress and provide a sense of relief.




Breaking free from a chronic stress cycle is not easy, but it is possible with time, effort, and dedication. By identifying the source of your stress, practicing mindfulness, establishing healthy boundaries, taking care of your body, and seeking support, you can begin to break free from the grips of chronic stress and reclaim your well-being. Remember to be patient and kind to yourself as you work towards a healthier, happier, and more balanced life.
