🧘♀️Today is National Stress Awareness Day🧘♀️
It’s a good time to pause, check in with yourself, and remember that stress is a normal part of life. The key is to notice it early and take small steps to manage it.
✅ Quick tips
Ask yourself: What’s making me feel stressed right now? Naming it helps.
Try a small action today: go for a short walk, take a few deep breaths, or silence notifications for a bit.
Talk to someone you trust. A quick chat with a friend, family member, or colleague can make a big difference.
