Lucky for me one of the sites was 10 Tips to Stress Less, full of useful advice on how to reduce stress.

The Stress Less campaign is coordinated by the Mental Health Association NSW (MHA) and has the aim of increasing community awareness of the risks of stress and providing tips and ideas on how we can all go about reducing the impact of stress in our lives.

The site is running on my own social “platform” thingy.

Stay tuned for more on this in the very near future.
