Stress Awareness Month; how to regain balance

1st April marks the start of Stress Awareness Month to raise awareness of the causes and cures for identifying, managing and living with stress.

The past year has undoubtedly placed a lot of extra stress and pressure on people from juggling working from the dining table whilst trying to home school; it’s important to stay healthy so we are encouraging all to take part in The 30 Day Challenge to increase positivity, encourage kindness and regain balance.

With our hotel reopening from 17th May, we are encouraging people to use this month to plan ahead with a focus on reducing stress and encouraging wellness throughout 2021.

Quality Time We appreciate that the last year has been difficult due to a reduction in social time with family and friends, however as we head into the Summer and the easing of restrictions it’s important to have things planned to look forward to. Whether it’s a family getaway to the Cornish coast with plenty of activities or a group surf trip; having something planned gives focus to a positive and exciting year ahead. For more information take a look at our getaways & breaks here.

Calming Aromas Your home should be a place for relaxation and tranquillity, away from the stresses of work. Light a candle, open the oil diffusers and play some soothing music. Take a look at GAIA Skincare’s range of candles, diffusers, sleep aids and calming bath oils; all to help create balance within your home here.

Exercise 
With the reopening of outdoor sport, getting back into a routine of fitness as part of your weekly activities will be a much-welcomed return for many. If this isn’t something that you have previously embraced, why not try adding this into your weekly routine? Exercise triggers the production of endorphins in your brain which pump through your body giving you that happy feeling. Exercise also lowers your body’s stress hormones such as cortisol, and instead releases chemicals that make you feel more positive and calm. So with the beach as our playground, why not try something new this year? If you’re in need of some fresh air from a year of working from home, why not enjoy the thrills of the ocean and book into the Quiksilver Surf School whilst staying at the Esplanade?

Nutrition An important part of regaining balance and feeling energized comes from the foods we eat. Starting the day with warm lemon water will get your metabolism fired up. Adding more Omega-3 and essential oils into your diet will give your brain the fuel it needs to feel more switched on. Here at The Esplanade, we offer a flexible dining package which means you can be sure to get all of the nutrition your body needs from our menus packed with locally sourced and nutritional produce, ready for an action-packed day at the beach. Take a look at our Cove Restaurant menu here.
