Safe outreach
Did you know that you can manage your stress with simple actions to move, think, and talk through it?
Moving your body can help activate feel-good hormones and release tension.
Your thoughts are powerful! Replaying negative thoughts or memories can repeatedly activate the stress response system. With practice, you can shift your thoughts to be positive or neutral and activate your calming system.
Talking with others and hanging out can lower your stress levels and help you feel better.
Find fun and easy ways to move, think, and talk through your stress by creating a Pause Plan today! Your body sends you many signs that tell you to take a pause. These signs can be:
- Emotional (feeling irritated, sad, anxious or lonely)
- Physical (having tense muscles, racing heart, and headaches)
- Behavioral (not sleeping well, changes in appetite, isolating yourself).
Have you noticed any of these signs in yourself lately? Learn more about the signs of stress and how to manage them at
