Positive psychology, initially focused on flourishing, now frequently helps people manage high levels of stress and anxiety. Stress is a response to external pressures, while anxiety is an internal state of apprehension; chronic instances negatively impact health.
Positive psychology provides evidence-based strategies like mindfulness, focusing on positive emotions, setting boundaries, maintaining social connections, and physical activity. These techniques build resilience and teach practical skills to manage stress, regain balance, and consciously shift from stress to calm, improving overall wellbeing.
