History of National Stress Awareness Day

National Stress Awareness Day is celebrated on the first Wednesday of November each year. It was created in 1998 by the International Stress Management Association (ISMA) to help raise awareness of the causes and effects of stress, and to promote healthy stress management strategies.

The ISMA is a registered charity that promotes knowledge about stress, best practices for stress management, well-being, and performance that are recognized nationally and internationally as well.

How to Celebrate National Stress Awareness Day

There are many ways to celebrate National Stress Awareness Day. Here are a few ideas:

  • Learn more about stress. What is stress? What are the different types of stress? What are the signs and symptoms of stress? What are the short-term and long-term health effects of stress?

  • Identify your stressors. What are the things that cause you the most stress? Once you know what your stressors are, you can start to develop strategies for coping with them.

  • Develop healthy coping mechanisms. There are many different healthy coping mechanisms that you can use to manage stress, such as exercise, relaxation techniques, and spending time with loved ones.

  • Talk to someone you trust. If you are feeling overwhelmed by stress, talk to a friend, family member, therapist, or other trusted person. They can offer support and guidance.

Other ways to celebrate National Stress Awareness Day include:

  • Organise a stress awareness event at your workplace or school. This could involve inviting a speaker to talk about stress management, offering free yoga or meditation classes, or hosting a potluck lunch where people can share tips for coping with stress.

  • Share information about stress awareness on social media. Use the hashtag #StressAwarenessDay to share articles, infographics, and other resources about stress management.

  • Take some time for yourself today to relax and de-stress. Do something that you enjoy, such as reading, taking a walk in nature, or spending time with loved ones.

It is important to remember that everyone experiences stress differently. What works for one person may not work for another. The most important thing is to find healthy coping mechanisms that work for you and to reach out for help when you need it.
