Crazy in (self) love

She says: "If you one do one of these stress-busting ideas a day then I know it will benefit you. Give it a go. Looking after yourself benefits everybody in your life, not just you."

Deep belly breathing

Simple, but effective. Take a deep breath, placing your awareness on your belly as it rises and falls with each breath. Repeat this for a few breath cycles and let yourself relax with each exhale.

Speaking with someone

Counselling and therapy isn't just for mental health issues. Speaking to a counsellor can help us navigate through tough times, manage stress and be proactive about our mental health.

Movement breaks

Get outside for a walk or schedule in your favourite workout class. Movement is key to both our mental and physical health and is a great self-care activity as it helps us spend more time in the present.

Unplug yourself

Life is almost all online right now, so sometimes we can feel plugged in 24/7. Try to schedule time away from your screen or leave your phone at home when you go for your walk or workout class. Read one chapter of a book (no, Kindle doesn't count), to give yourself a break from staring at a screen and technology in general.

Meditation

Meditation is a practice that brings our awareness to the present moment. When we spend more time in the present, it relieves stress. There are lots of types of meditations that you can try on YouTube for free, for people of all levels of experience. You can also try wellness apps - I find Calm or Headspace to be great.
