I’m simply walking in purpose and sharing what helps me heal and grow, in hopes it may encourage you to. 🌱✨  Cortisol is a hormone your body produces in response to stress. It’s made by your adrenal glands (small glands that sit on top of your kidneys) and plays a big role in how your body manages stress, energy, and balance. Functions of Cortisol Stress response : Often called the "stress hormone," cortisol helps your body deal with challenges by triggering the "fight-or-flight" response.

Ways To Maintain Good Mental Health

-

Healthy Coping Methods Help You:

  • Regulate emotions: Practices like breathing exercises, journaling, and prayer help you manage stress before it escalates.

  • Preserve energy: Setting boundaries and practicing self-care prevents burnout.

  • Stay focused: Reducing mental clutter through mindfulness helps you prioritize and make clearer decisions.

  • Maintain resilience: Positive coping builds emotional strength for when life gets overwhelming.

💡 Result: You’re more equipped to navigate daily challenges with calm, clarity, and confidence

 

⚠️ Unhealthy Coping Methods Can:

  • Drain your energy: Avoidance, overworking, or substance use may provide short-term relief but create long-term exhaustion.

  • Escalate stress: Bottling up emotions or overloading your schedule increases anxiety.

  • Disrupt relationships: Poor boundaries or lashing out pushes support systems away.

  • Delay healing: Numbing strategies block growth and prolong cycles of struggle.

💡 Result: You’re more likely to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected day-to-day.
