April is Stress Awareness Month and this is the perfect opportunity to begin the conversation around stress. Let’s check in with how we’re feeling. We all get overwhelmed sometimes and this can be even more challenging when you’re away from family and friends. Here are some stress-relieving tips to help you while living in Dubai…
Take a break
When you’re feeling stressed it’s important to step away and take a moment for yourself. Do something that makes you happy. Not sure where to go? Make sure to check out the ASKWHO groups that match your interests, for recommendations from like-minded people.
Try something new
Learning a new skill or trying something you haven’t done before helps to develop feelings of competency and growth. In turn, this alleviates stress. The ASKWHO community has regular meet ups for you to get out there, try something new and connect with new people. So far we’ve been on a yacht trip, had a villa party and so much more. Be sure to keep up-to-date with what we’re up to by joining our meet up group.
Get creative
Whether it’s through cooking, art, crafts or renovation a great way to relieve stress is to start a new creative project. Testing your creativity releases stress and stimulates different parts of the brain whilst giving you a sense of accomplishment for learning a new skill. Make sure to share your achievements with like-minded people in the ASKWHO group. Fellow foodies, art lovers and pre-loved fans are waiting on ASKWHO.
Stay active
Exercise is a great way to reduce stress. This is because physical activity triggers a release of serotonin which makes us feel good. So why not mix up your usual exercise routine with recommendations from the ASKWHO fitness group? Make sure to share your own fitness experience to inspire others to get fit and relieve stress.
Find support
Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t suffer in silence. Reach out and talk about how you’re feeling. Remember; a problem shared is a problem halved. Connect with friends and you’ll feel better instantly. There’s a supportive community waiting for you in ASKWHO.
