Managing Stress & Promoting Well-Being: A Practical Guide for Resilient Professionals

When work is heavy, the advice you get is usually "look after yourself", which is true and no help at all. This short guide is more specific. It sets out five strategies and says how to start each one.

What's inside

• Mindfulness and meditation: a few minutes a day, starting short and building up
• Self-care: put it in the calendar and treat it as a commitment, alongside food, movement and sleep
• Connection: friends, family or a support group, and asking for help when you need it
• Exercise: aim for thirty minutes of moderate activity on most days, split up if you have to
• Five techniques to try: deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, time management, journalling and hobbies

None of it will surprise you. In my view that is the point: under pressure people tend to drop the basics first, and this is a short reminder of what the basics are.

It is a guide to read, a few pages long, with no exercises or pages to complete. It also suggests therapy or counselling where stress runs deeper, and I'd underline that. This is general wellbeing reading and not a substitute for professional support. If you are struggling to cope, speak to your GP.
