National Stress Awareness Day - April 16

National Stress Awareness Day prompts people to recognize the stressors in their daily lives and learn about ways to deal with them. Falling on April 16, this day comes at a time of the year when many are stressed about money and taxes, so the concept of stress management is a top priority. Some coping strategies include:

  • Creating a culture that promotes stress management, like taking meditation breaks or doing chair yoga with coworkers.
  • Managing schedules to set aside personal time during the week for things like exercise, reading, and connecting with friends and family.
  • Practicing mindfulness by focusing solely on the present moment and releasing anxiety about the future and the past.
