KEY POINTS

If the weight of work, family, and daily life feels like it’s crushing you, take a deep breath. It’s okay to feel this way.

Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can affect your health and happiness.

But here’s the thing: You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and Jessica Hunt share that even small acts of self-compassion can make a world of difference. Treat yourself with the same kindness you’d offer a friend. Acknowledge your struggles, and remind yourself that you’re doing the best you can.

You don’t have to make drastic changes to find relief. Start small.

A few minutes of mindfulness each day can work wonders for your mental well-being. Breathe deeply, be present, and give yourself permission to simply be.

Finding your calm with helpful tools and supportive connections.

There are so many tools available to help you on this journey. Explore meditation apps, listen to calming music on Spotify, or find guided meditations on YouTube.

Many of us are navigating the same choppy waters. Reach out to a friend, a family member, or a therapist for support.
