Elevating Your Wellbeing: Essential Tips for Mental Health Week
When is Mental Health Week?
Mon, May 15, 2023 – Sun, May 21, 2023
Mental Health Week is an important time to prioritise well-being in the workplace and beyond. It’s challenges can affect anyone, regardless of background, and it’s crucial to build a supportive work culture and offer resources to address these concerns. By prioritising mental health, we can improve job satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being, leading to a more productive and healthier society.
During the week, it’s essential to focus on simple techniques to ease stress. One effective technique is the 4-7-8 breathing exercise, which involves breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding for seven seconds, and exhaling through your mouth for eight seconds. Other techniques include staying active, keeping a diary, challenging negative thoughts, spending time in nature, and connecting with others.
