🌿 International Stress Awareness Day! 🌿 Today’s theme, Campaigning to Reduce Stress and Improve Wellbeing, resonates in our fast-paced world, where it’s all too easy to lose track of stress management. In honor of Stress Awareness Day, we’re reflecting on the importance of stress management, mental health, and self-care—a reminder we like to keep close every day. 🧠 Consider this: The biggest influence on Happiness is Mental Health, followed closely by Quality of Work. And since the pandemic, screen time has soared by 30%, with the average person spending a staggering 11.1 hours a day on screens. Are we truly taking time during the day to step back from our screens, refresh our minds, and prevent stress from building to the breaking point? Stress management isn’t just a weekend job—our Wellbeing deserves daily care. Here are a few small ways to manage stress throughout your day: 🌬️ Take a 3-5 minute breathing break – Deep breathing can restore focus and calm. ( https://lnkd.in/gjX55bCb ) ✏️ Get creative – Try doodling or turn a paper scrap into origami for a quick, relaxing reset. 🧘 Stretch it out – A brief stretch routine can reduce tension and improve posture. 🚶 Walk outside – Fresh air and movement boost energy and mood. ☕ Grab a tea and a chat – A few minutes connecting with someone is an instant mood lifter! Let’s commit to caring for our Wellbeing every day, step by step. Remember, a little self-care goes a long way! #InternationalStressAwarenessDay #Wellbeing #MentalHealth #StressManagement #SelfCare #Happiness
