Today is World Stress Awareness Day — a reminder to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Stress is part of being human, but it doesn’t have to define our days.
✨ Take five minutes for yourself.
✨ Step outside.
✨ Speak kindly to your own heart.
Your well-being isn’t a luxury — it’s essential. 💚

🧠 Men’s mental health matters. Let’s remember: mental and physical health are equally important parts of overall well-being. It’s okay to talk, it’s okay to seek help. 💙

On the bus with all the other volunteers, Dyna pulled out her journal and read about everything she had learned during the past month or so. She has come such a long way, and one day, she hopes that she can support someone else in the same way that Mo had been there for her. Anything is possible if you just start by doing something each day.

While packing for her trip, Dyna realised that if it wasn’t for Mo, she probably would never have decided to go. She picked up her phone and texted him: “Thank you so much for everything you do for me. I love you – you are my best friend.”

The food at the new restaurant was great, and it was lovely to see Mo. She told him about the opportunity to volunteer abroad for two weeks, but also that she was unsure if she should go.
“What are you afraid of?” he wanted to know.
“Like, everything!” she replied.
“It is the perfect opportunity to expand your horizons – I think you should go.”

Later, when Dyna picked up her phone to scroll through Instagram, she saw that a new restaurant had opened close to campus. “Want to grab something to eat with me at this new place?” she texted Mo. The least she could do was to buy him lunch after all that he had done for her.

Dyna sat on her bed and stared out the window for almost an hour. Initially, it wasn’t easy; her mind kept on telling her to get up and find something to do, but she remembered Mo telling her that boredom is a good way to give your brain a break – and that is exactly what she needed.

The day after the exam, Dyna felt some tightness in her body – probably due to exam stress. She looked for a stretching video on YouTube and followed along in her residence room. Afterwards, she felt so relaxed that she decided to sit on her bed and do nothing for a while.

After days of improving her own wellbeing, Dyna wanted to inspire others and shared a motivational quote on her WhatsApp status before going to the exam venue: “Don’t watch the clock, do what it does – keep going!”
