Hurumanu 8: Health - Mental Well-being

The following sessions that we have been having in our 8th hurumanu are learning more about our wellbeing. How each part of our te whare tapa wha, is connected to each other, we have been focusing on a different one in each several sessions that we have been in this subject. Last session, as well as this current session, have been focusing on our 'mental health'. We are tasked with researching a fair amount to understand some parts of our 'mental health'. There were several topics that we were presented with to be able to focus on; the topic that I picked to look into more is 'stress', a feeling that can be felt more than we can count during our lifetime. It can be beneficial, yet can be the opposite as well. How it affects our well being is what I looked upon, the damage it could potentially give, 'chronic stress', what it could lead into and what it means. Focusing as well on how stress can occur, what environment it needs to occur, how much is too much?
