Stress and anxiety are two emotions that we may experience at some point in our lives, but what exactly are they? Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they are quite different from one another. Stress is a natural response to pressures or challenges we  face, while anxiety is a broader and more prolonged feeling of worry. Unlike stress, anxiety doesn't necessarily stem from a specific trigger and can persist even without an immediate threat. Understanding these differences can empower us to recognize our needs and take proactive steps to care for ourselves.
