If you have been feeling very overwhelmed with your life and responsibilities, it can take a toll on your mental health and wellbeing. This feeling often gets worse, even leading to more anxiety and worsening depression symptoms.

When stress occurs there are either two things you can do. Let stress take over you or find ways of coping. Stoic principles relate the importance of harmony and balance in life. Without it we are not living.

Fragments 6 states “But above all else this is the function of nature, to bind together and to harmonize our choice with the conception of what is fitting and helpful.”

It is easy for overwhelm to take control of your life. It is hard to respond. But a regimen of activities can help with relaxing and reducing stress.
