Autumn is a funny old time. After what has been an unusual summer for most of us, people are beginning to return to work, the kids are going back to school, and of course, there’s Christmas to start thinking about!
But while the new season has been a bit of a welcome relief, it has also been stressful, with lots going on and lots to get to grips with. If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all right now, you’re not alone. Between settling back into the school routine and trying to juggle everything else, it’s easy to feel stressed by it all from time to time.
There are different ways you can manage stress to help you take some time out and recharge. Take a look at some of the ways you can ease stress at home this autumn.

Get organised
If there are things that are causing you to feel stressed, because there’s too much going on or maybe you’re feeling a bit out of sync - taking some time to get organised could be what you need to feel ok. There are different ways to get organised at home to help you stay on top of what you need to do.
A wall planner can also be helpful for keeping track of appointments and where the kids need to be, making sure the whole family knows where they need to be!
Take some time to relax
Taking some time to yourself is important, especially when you spend so much time taking care of everyone else. Taking the time to read, have a bath and pamper yourself can make a world of difference to your stress levels, helping you relax. You can try aromatherapy as well as other tried and tested methods of stress relief. You could try CBD oil, but make sure you know how to calculate CBD dosage to make sure you have the right amount. Make a promise to make more time for yourself, there’s nothing better than a bit of ‘me’ time when the nights start getting darker!
Make some wholesome, home-cooked foods
Cooking and baking can be excellent stress relief, especially if you’re making some nice comfort foods. Family time is important, and what better way to bring you all together than at dinner time? Arm yourself with some autumn recipes and get cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
Remember to fit in some exercise
While summer makes it a little easier to get out and about, it’s important to keep up with exercise during the colder months too. From daily walks to an energetic home workout, there are different ways you can get up your activity levels and burn off some excess energy to relive the stresses of the day.
There are all kinds of ways you can relieve stress as a parent, and it’s important you find methods that work for you. If things start getting too much, make sure you share your feeling with someone else. A problem shared is a problem halved after all! Despite the daily stress of work and family life, there is still a lot to look forward to this autumn.
