MANAGING STRESS BY SEEKING SUPPORT

Managing Stress by Seeking Support
By Mr. Steve, Author of Unlocking Your Magical Sense and a client of The Vertical Wellness Spa

Stress is something we all face, but how we manage it can make the difference between thriving and barely coping. One of the most effective — yet often overlooked — ways to handle stress is by reaching out to others.

Talking to someone you trust can be incredibly therapeutic. Whether it’s a close friend, a family member, or a professional therapist, simply expressing your thoughts and emotions can provide immediate relief. It’s not just about finding solutions — it’s about being heard, understood, and supported.

When we internalize stress, it builds up like pressure in a sealed container. Eventually, that pressure has to go somewhere. By sharing your challenges openly and regularly, you release some of that tension and allow yourself space to breathe, process, and heal.

A strong support network is essential for maintaining emotional balance. Make time to nurture your connections. Call a friend. Join a group. Let others show up for you. These bonds provide perspective, clarity, and — most importantly — resilience during life’s more chaotic seasons.

Remember, your well-being doesn’t have to be a solo mission. You are not alone, and you were never meant to be.
