Anne Curtis shares secret to stress-free life: "Find the right partner first."

Women and the Struggle with Stress

According to recent discussions, women tend to experience higher levels of stress compared to men. This topic was one of the key points during the launch of the ManulifeMOVE app at the Grand Hyatt Manila, where a symposium was also held. Anne Curtis, a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, shared her insights on how to lead a stress-free life.

Anne emphasized the importance of finding the right partner, stating, "Number one, find the right partner." She explained that for women, especially, there is a lot of multitasking involved. They are not only wives and mothers but also pursue their dreams while managing household responsibilities. This constant juggling can be overwhelming, and she believes having the right support system is crucial.

Despite giving birth to her daughter Dahlia in 2020, Anne has continued to thrive in her career. She recently completed filming the Philippine adaptation of the popular South Korean drama "It’s Okay to Not Be Okay." Her presence on "It’s Showtime" remains strong, and she has several movie projects set for release. Beyond television, Anne has also made waves internationally by attending major fashion week events.

Self-Care and Mental Health Awareness

When it comes to recharging, Anne highlights the significance of self-care. "Self-care is so important," she says. "In today's world, there are many distractions, such as social media and various apps. It's essential to take time for yourself."

She also stresses the importance of mental health awareness. "Checking in on yourself can help you manage stress better," she adds. According to Anne, taking time for oneself can lead to a more balanced life and improved overall well-being.

In addition to self-care, Anne recommends regular physical activity. "Walking is an easy way to stay active," she says. "Instead of taking the elevator, maybe take the stairs. Even a few minutes of walking can make a difference."

While the climate in the country might discourage some from exercising due to the heat, Anne believes that walking is beneficial for people of all ages. "You should start as early as possible," she advises.

The Importance of a Support System

Lastly, Anne reiterates the need for a supportive partner. "Finding a good partner is top priority," she states. "Having the right person in your life can help manage stress effectively."

She also mentions the role of the ManulifeMOVE app in supporting individuals who may feel too shy to talk to their partners or friends. "The app can be a helpful tool for those who want to manage stress on their own," she explains.
