Strategies to Reduce Stress
Get Creative
​
Engaging in creative activities can be very cathartic for some. Example: crafting, knitting, drawing, writing, making videos, singing, making music, wood working, read etc.
Get Moving
​
Take some time to get your body moving such as stretching, exercise, yoga, or go for a walk around the block to get some fresh air.
Take a Day Off
​
Don't be afraid to treat mental health days like any other sick day. Your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health.​
Ask for Help
​
Talk to a friend or family member that you feel safe sharing your struggles with. Also don't be afraid to ask for help with your work.
Practice Mindfulness
​
Taking a step back from everything and doing some deep breathing and meditation can help ground you. NPX recommends the Headspace app and offers all employees a Headspace subscription​.
Try Journaling
​
Writing a stream of consciousness can help get things off your chest. Try out www.penzu.com for a free online journal or The Five Minute Journal by Intelligence Change if you prefer physical writing.
