The findings of a study* conducted in Britain revealed that the average person is stressed three times a day and an alarming 73% of participants felt they had too much on their plates. The study also found out that in general, over half of the polled people concurred that January is the most stressful time of the year. When asked about what they did to relieve stress, 39% of partakers opted to take a stroll while 29% of people soaked up some sunshine. 16% of pollers agreed that the sound of waves crashing on a beach relaxes them while 9% said a swim was the best solution to address the problem.
Speaking on relaxing, Dr Tang remarks “People have been under an increasing amount of stress over the years, from navigating through a pandemic to managing the current economic state. Relaxing is extremely important, and we often underestimate how vital it is to ensure we lead healthy and fulfilled lives, which is why working on such a picturesque island like Coco Bodu Hithi is such a dream job for me.”
Elaborating further she states “There is an array of health benefits to relaxation such as lowered blood pressure, improved digestion, reduced muscle tension and many more. With the huge variation in fresh produce coupled with the idyllic island, Coco Bodu Hithi offers guests the perfect combination of sun, sea, and sand to help guests unwind.” In her role, Dr Tang will be assisting guests to completely unwind and destress at the resort through mindful activities that can be practised on the island. This includes going on guided barefoot walks, affirmations and intention setting, as well as positive psychology workshops with guests and associates.
