Top Tip - MANAGING STRESS

Stress is the body's reaction to a change that requires a physical, mental or emotional adjustment or response.

•  Learn breathing and relaxation techniques and practice them on a daily basis

• Take a regular break such as walking away from your desk for 10 minutes or getting some fresh air for 10 minutes
• Get better organised by making a daily list of tasks that you know you can achieve - be realistic

• Make another list of tasks that may be more challenging to achieve and work out how you could achieve them

• Sort out your worries.  Make a list of things that are worrying you and try to tackle them one at a time

• Change what you can and do your best to accept what you cannot change

• Learn to say no.  You can't please everyone and remember to look after yourself

• Improve your overall lifestyle by eating regular nutritionally balanced meals and take daily exercise

• Adopt a healthy work life balance

• Keep a positive diary and list 5 positive things about your day - it can be as little as being aware of the sun shining. Note - no negative things can go in the diary   

 

"Give your stress wings & let it fly away" Terri Guillemets

 

 Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And wisdom to know the difference.
