Stress Awareness Month - April

We know that that whilst we have a pandemic amongst us our stress levels have probably rocketed, but it is also a good time to reflect on ourselves and look out for others who maybe suffering to. 
Here is a quick list to help bring that cortisol down.

1. Slow Down (you're allowed time to relax)
2. Breathe Deeply (belly breathe - in through the nose and out of the mouth)
3.  Exercise as it will increase endorphins (the happy hormone)
4.  Eat Fresh and avoid caffeine 
5.  Sleep - so under rated! This is a time for your mind and body to heal
6.  Talk to others  - There is always someone on the end of a line
7.  Acceptance  - some things you can not change
8.  Meditate - lots of lovely guided meditations on YouTube
9.  Make a 'To-Do' list - hobbies/chores/jobs, it makes you feel more in control, organised and accomplished 
   
10.  Lastly, be kind to yourself - YOU are the most important thing in YOUR life.
