How often have you felt stressed this month? How often have you felt a bit angsty? A bit meh? A bit something is up but you just can’t put your finger on it?
Are you monitoring your stress levels?
April has been National Stress Awareness Month. That’s a whole month dedicated to raising awareness of stress – the causes and how we can combat the worry, the anxiety and all the feelings we have when our stress levels start to increase.
A recent study on stress has identified that 65% of people in the UK have felt more stressed since Covid restrictions began in March 2020 – no surprise there.
However it’s one thing knowing stress levels are rising but how often are we checking in on ourselves, checking our stress levels and importantly doing something about it. And crucially doing something about it when we’re not stressed.
