April is National Stress Awareness Month. Stress affects every single one of us but there are ways that you can manage stress in your day to day life. Here are five common, evidence-based practices that have been shown to reduce stress: ✏️ Prioritize Self-Care: Allocate time each day for activities that promote relaxation and rejuvenation, such as meditation, exercise, or engaging in hobbies you enjoy. ✏️ Practice Mindfulness: Cultivate awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and body. Mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation, can help alleviate stress. ✏️ Establish Boundaries: Set clear boundaries between work, personal life, and technology usage to prevent burnout. ✏️ Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Focus on nourishing your body with nutritious foods, staying hydrated, getting adequate sleep, and avoiding excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption, as these can exacerbate stress. ✏️ Seek Support: Don't hesitate to reach out to friends, family, or professional counselors for support and guidance when needed. Building a strong support network can provide invaluable assistance during challenging times.
