National Stress Awareness Day

It’s National Stress Awareness Day!

Stress is “the body's way to response to stress is by the sympathetic nervous system which results in the Fight-or-Flight response. Stress typically describes a negative condition or a positive condition that can have an impact on an organism's mental and physical well-being.”

Some great de-stressors include:

·      Going for a walk/run

·      Exercise in general

·      Tunes/Playing an Instrument

·      Cooking

·      Reading

·      Chatting with friends/family

·      Shopping

·      Taking a bath or shower (no more than 5 minutes – don’t waste water!)

·      …And many more!

I would just like to point out the irony in that today, as we celebrate stress awareness, I am maxed out stressed due to the exam I have to write today! Oh Philosophy, after today, we will no longer be friends. …And, I’m kind of okay with that.
