Congratulations! Your "Medium" Mental Wellness Index score indicates that like millions of others, you have a standard (but not ideal) level of modern-day stress exposure and are at moderate risk for reduced vigor and lower mental wellness. You should incorporate anti-stress and balancing strategies into your lifestyle whenever possible to maintain (and improve) your mental wellness — but don't stress out about it!
Since your Mental Wellness Index puts you in the "Medium" category, it's important for you to do whatever you can to bring yourself back toward balance. This means that you'll want to follow a coordinated program incorporating as many "rebalancing" strategies as possible. Consider the fact that virtually anybody who experiences stress on a regular basis, gets less than eight hours of sleep each night, or has imbalances in their gut-brain axis is at risk for mental wellness challenges.
Each of us can benefit from targeted steps to maintain (or restore) our balance and improve our individual state of mental wellness. Neither a person's stress levels nor the body's response to stress is a constant. Sometimes, your approach to mental wellness needs to be more focused (such as during times of particularly high stress). At other times, you'll have less stress in your life and can withstand the situation you're in with more ease (such as during a vacation).
The bottom line is that living in the 21st century brings with it a certain amount of unavoidable stress, and with that stress comes a certain degree of disrupted mental wellness. It is how we deal with that stress and what we do to restore balance that can make all the difference when it comes to our long-term mental wellness and how we feel on a daily basis.
