Stress Awareness Week - Our top tip to alleviate stress

It is Stress Awareness Week - this top tip is something we encourage everyone to do, every day!

For the first 60 mins of your day go phone-free…

Instead, check-in with yourself. Close your eyes, take 10 deep belly breaths, breathing in for 4 seconds and out for more

Place your hand on your heart and ask yourself ‘how am I feeling today and what do I need?’

Wait. Your head will answer first…be patient and notice how you are really feeling; perhaps energetically, emotionally, mentally, physically.

Next, ask yourself ‘what is it that I need today to best support myself?’

Maybe you need to create space in your diary, reschedule, slow down, be gentle with yourself. 

Or maybe you need a boost of energy - move your body, call your funniest pal, read something inspiring, dance to an epic song to shake up the energy!

Honour your needs so that you can feel your best - for yourself and for those you love.

Stress and burnout cannot be solved by mindfulness training!

(And we bloody love mindfulness training!)

We partner with businesses. We observe the symptoms. We identify the root causes. We shift cultural norms and narratives. And we throw in a load of practical tools for good measure.

We are in it for the long game.

This can make a huge difference - every single person that tries this notices a significant improvement in their mood, head space and energy throughout the day.
