Stress is the body's reaction to feeling threatened or under pressure. It's very common and can be motivated to help you achieve things in your daily life, and can help a person meet the demands of home, work and family life.

Too much stress can affect your mood, your body, and your relationships especially when you feel out of our control. It can make you feel anxious and irritable, and affect your self-esteem.

The tips on this Podcast can help, but if you have been experiencing stress for some time and it's affecting your daily life or causing you distress, you should consider seeking further support either from the NHS or a therapist.
