Taking time for ourselves is a really important part of self-care. One way to switch off from the demands of day-to-day life is by using relaxation exercises. 👣
Relaxation allows physical and/or mental tension to be released. Learning to relax takes practise, as with learning any new skill. It’s a great way to to help us unwind and bring our tensions and anxiety under control.💙
It’s a good idea to practise regularly so we can be more prepared for the more stressful times. Below is an example of a relaxation exercise for you to try.

We are holding a Stress Workshop in collaboration with C & K Recovery & Wellbeing College on 8th September from 12:30 - 14:30 on Microsoft Teams! 🧠

Are you struggling with stress? The Stress Bucket is a simple concept that can have a big impact on how you manage stress! 🪣 Imagine your stress (like water) fills a bucket and you ideally need your bucket to be filled no more than half way as this is manageable for you to carry. Lots of things add stress to our bucket such as job problems and relationship difficulties. 😓
To keep it at a manageable level, we need good coping mechanisms to release some stress. This could be through activities such as relaxation, self care or socialising. Evidence based Talking Therapies can also help. 👋

If you'd like to find out more about how our treatments can help you manage your stress, you can contact us for an initial assessment by calling 01484 343700 or self-refer through our website www.kirklees-talkingtherapies.nhs.uk 😊
