Life. It can be pretty stressful at times. To help you regain your calm, we’ve curated some super-useful stress care tips, insights, programs and products so you can stress a little bit less.
Proven ways to help reduce stress
We all face challenges in life, and they don’t stop coming. Although we can’t get rid of these challenges, we can control how we react to them.
Deciphering how stress shows up for you personally is a great place to start. What causes your stress? How does your body tell you that you’re stressed?
When you figure this out, you can take steps to decrease the intensity of your stress response.
Here are 3 top stress-relief tips from Clinical Psychologist Dr Bec Jackson
- Eat more natural antioxidants - Antioxidants may help to neutralise the harmful effects of free radicals which your body produces when you are stressed.
- Move more - Physical activity may increase your health and sense of wellbeing, making you more resilient to life’s challenges.
- Reframe your situation - If just looking at your to-do list leaves you feeling stressed out, Dr Bec suggests remembering that you’re safe and you’ve already met all your basic needs.
