April is National Stress Awareness Month, bringing attention to the detrimental impacts of too much stress in our lives. To stress less and live more this month, follow these tips:
• Take breaks – Use the Pomodoro Technique or guided imagery to manage time effectively and avoid working while overwhelmed.
• Go outside – A change of scenery is perfect for recharging and feeling refreshed!
• Reduce caffeine intake – Stimulants such as coffee and caffeinated tea can cause jitteriness, which could lead to increased anxiety and stress.
• Light candles, diffusers and the like – Creating a soothing environment around you can boost relaxation and induce calmness.
