TIL - Stress is contagious.

Until today, I didn't realize stress is contagious; I always thought of it as a personal experience.

The people we spend the most time with can significantly influence our stress levels, and vice versa, impacting behaviors and habits without us even realizing it.

It's important to start the day by acknowledging our emotions and ending it with gratitude, no matter how small. This simple practice can help break the cycle of stress and cultivate a more positive mindset.

When we're stressed, venting to a friend might seem like a good way to cope. However, we're actually transferring our stress onto them.

A healthier alternative to venting is journaling. 

By expressing our emotions on paper, we can process them more effectively and avoid burdening others with our stress.
