It’s Ok.

We all experience short bouts of stress. Sometimes it can help us through a situation.

When is it bad?

  • When it carries on for a long time. ‘Burn Out’
  • When you don’t feel you have the right tools to deal with it

How Can I Recognise It?

What is your body telling you?

  • Feeling tired all the time
  • Feeling anxious/hot
  • Butterflies/constant feeling of adrenaline
  • Easily moved to tears/anger
  • Not eating/sleeping
  • Muddled – ‘Can’t see the wood for the trees’
  • Tummy upset
  • Regularly feeling overwhelmed and powerless

How Can I Manage?

Refuel: Eat and drink regularly – A balanced diet with more vegetables and less sugar and caffeine.

Renew: Get plenty of sleep – wind down without TV – try a bath or a mindfulness app

Respond: Tell someone how you are feeling – a friend, Dr or employer

Reconnect: Spend some time outdoors and reconnect with nature, especially on a sunny day – get that vitamin D boost

Review: Look at your life, what can change to make things better?

Reset: MAKE TIME FOR YOU
