Embrace the present with Ginger.

As we enter Stress Awareness Month in April, we’re leaning into the evolution of our emotions, including the stickier ones like stress. Oh, stress. It’s uncomfortable; it’s overwhelming; it takes a toll on our bodies and our minds. Despite the difficulty, there are ways to work through this feeling until it passes. By acknowledging the presence of stress, identifying its sources, and developing an effective coping toolkit, we’ll get closer and closer to a coveted sense of peace.

There are a multitude of tips and tricks for managing stress, like meditation, exercise, or chatting with a mental health professional. Ultimately, our coping strategies are personal and require openness to self-discovery. Explore Ginger’s in-app resources* to learn what tools work best to address your stress:
