Beyond meditation: Psychologist's pro tips to deal with work stress

New Delhi: In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become an inseparable part of life. Whether it’s meeting deadlines, managing family responsibilities, or adapting to constant change, most people experience stress daily. Recognising the need to address this global concern, Ms. Siddhi N Yadav, Consultant- Psychologist, Motherhood Hospitals, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, interacted with TV9 English, encouraging individuals and organisations to take proactive steps toward creating a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.

Be it work or school, it is an incredibly competitive world that we live in; one must make proactive efforts to not let the stress take over. In a short span, it can lead to headaches and discomfort, but the long-term consequences are far worse, as several studies also associate stress with potentially deadly health problems, such as heart attacks. Therefore, it is imperative to identify the stress-causing triggers and work on them to boost longevity while also dodging chronic and acute health problems.
