Stress Awareness Month takes place throughout the whole of April. This year, the Stress Management Society is promoting a 30-day challenge in which every day you do something to improve your physical, mental or emotional wellbeing. This challenge aims to reduce the overall stress that people may feel in their day-to-day lives, and helps to teach techniques that reduce stress which you can use in your daily life after the challenge.

If you’re feeling stressed, there are steps you can take to help yourself feel better. These can include techniques as simple as going for a walk, trying meditation, eating a little bit healthier or spending time with friends and family. If you’re finding stress unmanageable, then it’s important to speak to your GP.
