Transitioning into a new routine is more than a change in your schedule; for many of us, it can be a period filled with stress. Too much stress can lead to mental health issues like anxiety and depression, take a toll on your physical well-being, and strain your relationships. Keep these points in mind to help you manage stress in a well-rounded way.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Nutrition, sleep, and hydration are important for our overall health. Eat balanced meals, get enough sleep, and stay hydrated. Include a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains in your meals. Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night, and keep a water bottle handy to ensure you stay hydrated throughout the day.
- Stay active: Physical activity is a powerful stress reliever. Find enjoyable ways to stay active, whether it’s a morning jog, some afternoon yoga, or an evening walk. Consider joining a local gym, participating in a virtual fitness class, or simply taking regular breaks for stretching during your workday.
- Practice mindfulness: Incorporate mindfulness practices such as meditation, deep breathing, or journalling into your daily routine to stay grounded.
Don’t forget to check with your employer for tools and services that can support you. Embrace the opportunities that come with the new season and allow yourself to fall into place!
