May is Mental Health Awareness Month - Stress Management
Hello,
Stress affects us all. In fact, a recent study found that over 50% of the global workforce is experiencing burnout. The past few years have brought significant changes in how we work and live, introducing new and often overwhelming stressors. Without proper management these stressors can manifest into many unhealthy symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and even substance abuse.
As we continue to recognize May as Mental Health Awareness Month, we would like to take a moment to talk about stress management and share a few tools to support you when life feels overwhelming.
Managing Stress:
It is important to listen to your body and recognize the signs of unhealthy stress and burnout. Self-reflection is a great first step to begin the journey toward better stress management. Here are a few simple ways to help manage stress when you’re feeling overwhelmed.
- Step Outside: Taking only 15 minutes out of your day to walk or connect with nature can make a big difference in lowering stress levels.
- Connect With Others: Taking time to connect with friends and loved ones can help you feel more supported.
- Try Guided Meditation: Taking 15 minutes for a guided meditation session can help you feel centered and better prepare you for incoming stressors.
