Stress Awareness Month has been held every April since 1992. There is no other time that I can think of where the level of stress has impacted so many people throughout the world. The uncertainty of if or when our lives will get “back to normal” is likely causing most of us anxiety. Experts say the best way to manage our stress is to take care of ourselves.
This includes:
- Getting enough sleep.
- Do something active, like going for a walk or tuning in to a virtual exercise program.
- Limit the amount of time that you are watching the news – too much information can be as harmful as too little.
- Stay connected with friends & family – video chats are great.
- Do something you love like a hobby, playing with your kids in the yard, having a candlelight dinner for two, or meditation.
The most important thing is allotting yourself time to relax and release the stress. There are many options, during this period that have free internet streaming to keep up with your exercise, yoga, and education. There are also many companies offering a 30 day free trial of service for movies, e-book services, and audio books. Comcast, AT&T, and cellular companies have uncapped your maximum data during this period so it will not cost you more to take advantage of these options.
Two additional notes: If you are working from home, take breaks, and avoid over-snacking. And if money is your key stress point, many financial institutions and finance companies are willing to work with you during this period to delay or reduce payments. You just need to call them.
