Everybody has suffered from stress at some point in their lives. Some stress is good as it spurs one on to greater achievements. Some common causes of stress include relocation, job changes, academic and peer pressure, relationship problems, medical problems or a new addition to the family. As an expatriate, other factors like losing one’s usual support structure, lifestyle changes, homesickness, acclimatising to both the weather and local culture also come into play.

Here are 5 healthy ways to deal with stress suggested by our friends at International Medical Clinic

1 Embrace regular exercise, a healthy diet and getting enough sleep

2 Enjoy relaxation exercises, meditation, yoga and listening to music

3 Manage your time better by reviewing your activities and reorganising your day and environment

4 Ensure you manage expectations and get help with your daily chores if they are too much for you

5 You are not alone! Talk to friends, or a professional counsellor
