In today’s fast-paced world, stress and anxiety are becoming increasingly common. From work pressure to personal relationships, everyday life can be overwhelming for many people.

This is why it’s important to take steps to combat stress and anxiety in order to maintain good mental health. Here are some effective ways to do so:
