4. Fatigue
Fatigue or lack of energy – often described as a persistent feeling of tiredness – can be a common symptom of stress. When you’re under stress, your body and mind constantly work to respond to perceived threats or challenges, which can lead to physical and mental exhaustion.
How to Deal:
- Make time for activities you enjoy and ensure you get adequate rest.
- Eat a nutritious, well-balanced diet to give your body the energy it needs.
- Engage in regular physical activity, which can boost energy levels.
- Practice stress-reduction movements and techniques such as meditation, mindfulness, or progressive muscle relaxation.
