"As we approach the busiest stretch of the year in our industry, I find myself reflecting on how important it is to care for ourselves while we prepare for the increase in activities, events and in-person connections that May & June will bring.
I’ve certainly learned that being actively present often requires intentional breaks and protecting brief moments to step back and re-group. Creating space to pause between events not only helps me feel more present but also helps to navigate a healthy balance between my work and my home life.
When I need rest, I find that meditation, a walk, and listening to happy music often does the trick. What strategies do you use to maintain balance during peak social stretches?"
In Canada, April is recognized as National Stress Awareness Month, a time to focus on mental wellbeing and reduce stress. As Kayla’s post illustrates, being aware of stress triggers in advance, such as a busy stretch in your schedule, can help you access the support you need to prioritize your mental health.
