Easing Year-End Stress

Here are some tips and reminders to help make the season less stressful and more peaceful.

Prioritize self-care.

• Be intentional with your actions and create a routine that helps simplifies activities.
• Eliminate those holiday activities that always cause you stress. Saying “no” is okay.
• Include periods of relaxation and take a day off in your holiday schedule—some “you” time—where you can slow down, unplug, and come back refreshed.

Get plenty of sleep and find moments of Calm.

• The Calm Mental Fitness app delivers guided meditations and breathing exercises right to your device, so you can feel more relaxed anytime, anywhere. As a Lennox employee you get free access to the Calm Premium subscription.

Focus on your total well-being.

Reach out to the EAP for 24/7 assistance over text, chat, phone, or video.

Check your year-end financial checklist.

• Talking about mental health at work isn’t always easy – especially if you’ve never done it before. Get in touch with your manager via email, phone, or video chat before work-related or personal stress affects productivity.
• Be open and honest with your manager about your challenges so that he or she can better understand your feelings and determine how to help you.
