If you’re wondering why it’s so important for us to take time out of our days to scroll through some feel-good photos, one key reason is because as a people, we are entirely too stressed. According to theMental Health Foundation, 74% of people living in the UK say they have been so stressed in the last year that they have been overwhelmed or unable to cope.Sadly, not even a third of older people can say that they never feel overwhelmed, while only 7% of young adults can say the same. And unsurprisingly, stress impacts our behavior in a variety of ways. 46% of people admit that they have eaten too much or eaten an unhealthy diet due to stress, and nearly a third say they’ve started drinking or increased their alcohol intake due to stress.

While we can’t all be relaxed yoga gurus who drink tea and meditate all day long, there is something we can learn from zen individuals. According toPsych Central, there are plenty of benefits we can experience from learning how to manage our stress. First of all, keeping your stress levels in check can reduce your blood pressure. Stress has been linked withchanges in blood pressure, which can lead to hypertension and increase a person’s risk of having a stroke or developing heart disease. Because of this, keeping yourself more relaxed might literally extend your lifetime.
There’s no question that being stressed can also do a number on our mental health. One2020 studyfound that uncertainty stress among college students was linked to high levels of mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety. It can be extremely difficult to manage stress, especially as a student, but learning how to do so can help with your mood and make completing assignments and everyday tasks much easier.
When managing stress, don’t underestimate how helpful the little things can be. A ten minute walk around your neighborhood to get some fresh air, stretch your legs and say hi to a few neighbors can be a great pick-me-up. Call a loved one on the phone and check in with them. Watch a hilarious YouTube video that will have you laughing, and listen to music that you love. And of course, find some satisfying pics online to scroll through!
