#StressAwarenessMonth Tip 8: Take time for you. For those who juggle work and parenting duties, finding time for yourself can be low on the list of priorities. However it's important to try and take some time out for yourself, even if it's just a quick chat with a friend.

#StressAwarenessMonth Tip 5: Don’t suffer in silence over financial worries. Financial stress is something many people have experienced in some form throughout the pandemic. If your finances feel difficult to manage by yourself, speak to a friend, or seek professional advice.

#StressAwarenessMonth Tip 4: Set clear boundaries around working and home life. Although home working offers flexibility in ways office working doesn't, it can also disrupt your work-life balance. When the line between home and working life is blurred, you may feel stressed.

#StressAwarenessMonth Tip 3: Speak up when your workload gets too much. When you feel overwhelmed by your workload, it's in the interest of both you and your employer that you speak up. It will allow you to manage your stress levels and continue to work at a sustainable level.

#StressAwarenessMonth Tip 2: Create a healthy routine outside of work. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is an important step towards taking care of your mental health. Without substantial meals or sleep, your energy levels will be lower which could lead to burnout and stress.
