Acute Stress

Acute Stress

Acute stress is the type of stress that comes as quickly as it goes. It can throw you off balance to lose your focus momentarily. Examples of situations that trigger acute stress are intense arguments with a loved one or feeling inadequate after a challenging exam.

Every time you experience acute stress, effective relaxation techniques include breathing exercises, meditation, cognitive reframing, and progressive muscle relaxation.

Chronic Stress

Chronic Stress

Chronic stress is something we all experience and can result in mental fatigue and burnout if not managed carefully. Chronic stress can trigger a lot of physical and mental health problems if it’s not resolved quickly. 

It would help if you incorporate good habits like exercise, a healthy diet, and maintaining healthy relationships for more intense episodes. It takes patience to deal with chronic stress because, unlike acute stress, it won’t go away quickly. It may also be helpful to find a therapist to minimize the side effects of chronic stress.
