Ways to Manage Stress: As Suggested by You!
The Physiological Sigh Double inhale through the nose, hold your breath and then slowly breathe out through the mouth. Activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Wonderful! - @dranguspringle, Instagram
Move your Body One way I like to get rid of in-the-moment stress is by moving my body in anyway that I can. Anything to use up the adrenaline and to come back into my body and out of my mind. - @emilyfulleylove_coach, Instagram
Take a moment Stopping and tuning in with myself. Not just carrying on. Really focusing on what I need. - Victoria Zaslona, LinkedIn
This #SelfCareWeek, why not try some new ways to manage stress, as suggested by members of our wonderful community! We would love to hear the ways that you practice self-care- share your tips in the comments!

Late November can feel heavy, so we’re slowing down: hot tea, light instead of screens, a few minutes of movement, quiet, and offline time for rest. Small rituals make the days softer.
