Today, weโre highlighting a helpful visual tool known as ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ต๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ, which can support us in understanding and managing stress more effectively. ๐
Imagine your daily stress as water flowing into a container. If too much builds up without release, the container overflows, leading to feelings of anxiety, overwhelm and burnout.
On the side of the container is a tap, representing healthy coping strategies that help release stress and protect your wellbeing. But when we rely on unhelpful habits, like excessive drinking, overworking, or neglecting self-care, the tap can become blocked, making it harder to cope.
Keeping the tap flowing means prioritising self-care and making time for activities that recharge you. Here are some simple ways to do just that:
๐ถโโ๏ธ Take a walk in nature
๐ต Catch up with a friend over a cuppa
๐ง Join a yoga or fitness class
๐ Dance to your favourite tunes
๐ Get lost in a good book
๐ Enjoy a long, relaxing bath
๐ Cook and savour a nourishing meal
๐ฝ๏ธ Watch a comforting film
Even small acts of self-care can make a big difference. So today, take a moment for yourself; open the tap, release the pressure, and give your wellbeing the attention it deserves.
