Working in events is undeniably demanding, let's call a spade a spade. So, in honor of Stress Awareness Month, we've rounded up our top 5 stress-busting tips:

1. Sweat it Out, Stress Be Gone!

Exercise isn't just about looking good in those jeans (although that's a nice bonus). It's your ticket to Stress-Free City! Picture this: you carve out some time, stick to your workout routine like it's VIP, and bam! Suddenly, the day feels lighter and the problems seem smaller.

2. Sleep Like a Boss

Ever notice how everything feels ten times harder when you're running on empty? Yep, blame it on the Zzz's. A solid night's sleep isn't just a luxury; it's a superhero cape for your body. So: prioritise those Z's, and watch your productivity soar and your inner grump vanish into thin air.

3. Break Time, All the Time

Got a mile-long to-do list staring you down? We feel you. But here's a little secret: breaks aren't just for slackers—they're for winners. Schedule in those mini escapes, even if it's just a quick stroll away from your desk. Trust me, those few minutes of freedom will supercharge your focus like nobody's business.

4. Embrace the Great Outdoors

Okay, so maybe the British weather isn't always on our side. But here's the thing: fresh air is a game-changer, rain or shine. So, seize those precious moments outside, whether it's a brisk walk in the park or a backyard rendezvous with your furry bestie. Their joy? Absolutely contagious.

5. Onsite Stress-Busting Essentials

Being onsite can be incredibly stressful, so I never leave home without my stress-busting essentials:

Nodpod: Weighted eye mask for the ultimate sleep upgrade.

Face Masks: Because self-care is non-negotiable, even on the craziest days.

Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated, stay sane. It's that simple.

So there you have it. With these simple strategies in your back pocket, you're not just surviving—you're thriving. Stress? Consider it officially conquered.
