Today we enjoyed a mooch around Hastings; one of the funicular railways, wandering the streets and a spot of mini golf.

Stress can become overwhelming, so if you can, step back and view from above. What can you see going on? What is going well, not so well.
How might you support a friend of yours if it was them in this situation?
Be kind to yourself this #StressAwarenessWeek.

Release, Reconcile, Reframe
If you feel stressed or frustrated, try writing it down, speaking with a trusted friend or move your body to let it out.
Try to be kind to yourself. Accepting a situation and focusing on what you can influence might be a better use of energy.

In charity comms, stress can easily become the norm. Today, on #NationalStressAwarenessDay, is a great reminder to model what healthy performance looks like – encourage rest, protect boundaries, and recognise effort, not just outcomes. Share one way your team supports wellbeing in the comments.

You may have heard of Fight or Flight, but here we see Freeze, Flop & Fawn.
Can you recognise anything you, or others might do when experiencing stressful situations? Not all stress responses are "emotional"
Even if you seem to carry it well, does not mean the weight isn't heavy #StressAwarenessWeek

Getting stuff done can be stressful, so break it down into smaller tasks, & add in rewards for milestones. Start small, it doesn't have to be perfect; good enough may be all that's required.
Share your plan with a friend so they act as a gentle nudge to get started & keep going.

It's #StressAwarenessWeek & it's always important to remember to refill your own cup. Self care is not selfish, & everyone has their own ways to recharge. Such as nature time in a local park, indulging in a good book, quiet creative arts, crafts, cooking, or noisy social events.
