In moments of acute #stress it is helpful to have our #selfcare kit. You can create your own box of stress-free activities depending on your likes by choosing one that stimulates your 5 senses or soothes you, e.g., squeezing a stress ball or taking a bath.

Progressive muscular relaxation is an exercise that can help to reduce stress and anxiety by having you slowly tense and relax different muscles in the body, helping us to know what tension and relaxation feels like in our own muscles. #relaxation#tension #mentalwellbeing

Are you looking for new ways to practise a #breathingexercise and relax during the weekend? Rainbow breathing can help you while deep breathing; try inhaling as you are tracing up each colour of the rainbow and exhaling as you are tracing down. #wellbeing #mertontalkingtherapies
