It’s a time to focus on strategies that can help manage the physical and emotional impact of stress including:
➡️Changing the way you think – we create the stress in our brain; the way we think about or manage stress can turn the volume of stress up or down. Watch this video to learn more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6402QJp52M
➡️Prioritizing self-care - engaging in activities that promote relaxation, such as exercise, meditation or hobbies. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night.
➡️Setting boundaries - identifying and managing potential stressors at work or home.
➡️Digital detox - studies show that even a short break from devices/digital media can significantly lower stress and anxiety, and improve sleep quality.
➡️Seeking support - connecting with your CVFP health provider if you feel overwhelmed. Additional resources https://cfpcn.ca/mental-health-support/
