Stress Awareness Month with Jo Benians â¤ď¸â
â
Stress is something we all experience - but when it becomes prolonged or overwhelming, it can begin to impact both our mental and physical wellbeing.â
â
At Westminster Womenâs Clinic, we believe in recognising stress early and supporting women with practical, sustainable ways to manage it.â
â
Our Counsellor and Therapist Jo Benians, shares her expert insightsâ
â
"While some stress can be a natural and even motivating part of life, unmanaged stress can take a real toll on our health. Developing healthy regulation strategies is key.â
â
Here are some simple, yet very effective ways to support yourselfâ
â
âď¸ Build awareness - Notice early signs such as irritability, fatigue, or difficulty concentratingâ
âď¸ Use your breath - Slow, deep breathing can quickly calm the nervous systemâ
âď¸ Move your body - Even a short walk or gentle stretching can release tension and boost moodâ
âď¸ Set boundaries - Learning to say no and managing expectations helps prevent overwhelmâ
âď¸ Prioritise sleep - A consistent routine supports emotional resilienceâ
âď¸ Practice mindfulness - Taking moments to pause can help quiet racing thoughtsâ
âď¸ Stay connected - Talking to others provides support and perspectiveâ
â
If stress begins to feel unmanageable, seeking professional support can make a significant difference.ââ
