How can I relieve stress? (Tips & stress relief products)
When you are looking to relieve stress, there are a number of methods that you can try, including the following:
1. Access support resources
If you are feeling overwhelmed, you should never feel afraid or embarrassed to reach out for support. Whether it's a friend or a family member, a health professional or even an organisation such as Samaritans, there is always someone there to listen. You can find a list of resources here:
- Samaritans
- Mind Peer Support
- Stress Management Society
2. Practice mindfulness
When you are feeling overwhelmed, mindfulness can help to provide a sense of grounding. It helps separate your mind from the stress of a situation so that you can see the bigger picture. This will increase your ability to make choices that are right for you. Mindfulness meditation can be done anywhere at any time, as the only tool you need is your mind!
3. Practice self-care
To help reduce stress, it is important to take time to relax and do things you enjoy. You should also make sure to prioritise getting plenty of sleep, as your sleep quality can have a direct impact on your mental state. You can find out more about maintaining good sleep hygiene here.
