5 Stress Busters - Easy Steps to Stress Management from EOHCB

These valuable tips are brought to you by the EOHCB. Here’s wishing you a stress-free time in your business so that you can spend more time building it, and less time feeling worried and frazzled.

1. Exercise

• Taking part in enjoyable physical activity increases dopamine levels (feel-good hormones) and drops cortisol levels (stress hormones)

• Exercise improves goal-setting habits and raises self-esteem

2. Control

• Take an active role in challenges and tasks. A passive attitude will result in problems not being resolved and a general feeling of helplessness.

• A feeling of loss of control can result in increased stress and a lack of wellbeing and mental acuity

3. Learn

• Take time to learn better ways of achieving things.

• Increasing skills can also improve self-confidence as well as improving on your send of purpose

• Work smarter, not harder

4. Connect

• The burden of everyday challenges can make you feel alone.

• Partners, friends and family can provide productivity and emotional support.

• Ask for assistance from your team, advisors, as well as your EOHCB Representative.

5. Play

• Maintain a positive outlook towards the challenges that are ahead of you.

• Don't forget to balance business and pleasure.

• Wherever possible, do something that feeds your happiness, as well as the happiness of those you care about
