When stress follows you home

Gentle ways to transition from a demanding day into an evening of rest.

Some days, the workday ends but your mind keeps working. It may help to create a small transition ritual: change clothes, take a short walk, or put your phone away for ten minutes.

Notice what helps you feel grounded rather than trying to force yourself to relax. A brief check-in with someone you trust can also help.

If stress regularly affects your sleep, relationships, or daily functioning, talking with a qualified mental health professional may be worthwhile.

You don't have to figure it out alone.
