National Stress Awareness Day, taking place on first Wednesday of November each year, was set up to raise awareness of the effects of psychological distress in the workplace. It also provides a great opportunity to think about the many reasons we can feel stressed, and the different methods that can ease it.
There are many ways to relieve stress and anxiety - breathing hacks, essential oils and sleep hacks to name a few. However, there has been a recent rise in popularity surrounding wellness apps and technology, especially ones that enable us to be present and stay on top of stress levels even when on the move. Calm is an amazing example of this, and recently grabbed the number one spot in our guide to the 5 free wellness apps that need to be on your phone.
Well, in the lead up to Black Friday, we're pleased to share with you that Calm has slashed its annual subscription price by 50%, making it £19.99 instead of £39.99! Take a look for yourself:
