Returning to work after a break can bring a mix of emotions. We understand the anxiety that can come with transition, no matter the age and experience. Here are some tips to cope with the anxiety of coming back to work - 🔵 Structure Your Day: Start with a clear plan. Prioritise tasks and set realistic goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed. 🔵 Maintain Connections: Stay engaged with colleagues. Sharing your thoughts and experiences can provide mutual support and lessen feelings of isolation. 🔵 Mindful Moments: Incorporate mindfulness or relaxation techniques into your day to manage stress and enhance focus. It’s completely normal to feel anxious, and it’s okay to ask for help. Let’s work together to make your transition back to work a positive one! 📞 Crisis Support: 13 11 14 📞 Non-urgent Help: 1300 991 443 🌐 https://lnkd.in/dPK-Hkf #BackToWork #MentalHealthSupport #AnxietyRelief #LifelineDarlingDownsSouthWestQldLtd

Myth: "Holiday gambling is just festive fun. I won’t develop an addiction and can stop whenever I want” Reality: While it might seem like a harmless way to add excitement to holiday festivities, gambling during this time can often lead to unintended consequences, the holiday season typically involves more social gatherings, gift-giving, and financial pressures, which can increase the temptation to gamble as a quick fix for financial strain. If holiday gambling is affecting you or someone you care about, remember help is available. Lifeline Darling Downs & South West Qld Ltd offers support to help you navigate these challenges safely. 📞 Call 1300 991 443 🖥️https://shorturl.at/yHJLU #ResponsibleGambling #SupportAvailable #LDDSWQL #LifelineDarlingDownsSouthWestQldLtd
