One stress management secret that many successful women in tech swear by is incorporating regular physical exercise into their routines. "Consistency is key", even when life gets busy.

The benefits are proven:
1. It helps boost mood by releasing endorphins, which are natural mood enhancers.
2. Fresh air helps improve oxygen flow to the brain, which can increase alertness, reduce feelings of fatigue, and promote clear thinking.
3. Exposure to natural (sun) light also enhances serotonin production, improving focus, reducing stress, and increasing energy levels.
4. Additionally, staying active helps regulate sleep patterns, reduce anxiety, and provide a much-needed mental break, allowing you to return to your work feeling refreshed and more capable of handling challenges.
