STRESS LESS
Stress is an inevitable part of life. When the total amount of stress you experience exceeds your ability to cope with it, stress wreaks havoc on your health. Stress management can be a difficult change to make. With small tweaks and adjustments, you can give yourself the time you need to cope and heal from the damage stress does to our bodies and minds.
Some ways to minimize the impact of stress include:
Reduction in exposure to physiological or psychological stress
Mitigate the harmful effects of the stress you can’t avoid
Breathing techniques for handling stress daily
Adopt strategies for stress management
Bodies will provide you with tools and resources to reduce the amount of stress you experience, assist you in changing thought patterns and perceptions of stress, find options for stress management that work for you and your life, and of course, help you make SLEEP a priority. Movement, light exposure, nutrition, stimulant consumption, meditation practice, outdoor time and play (yes, PLAY!) all play an important role in stress management. We will give you what you need to make small changes that will give your stress load a big overhaul.
TRUTH: I used to hold on to my stress so hard until I had to eat a whole pie to let that ish go. My body was like a box of rocks. I found meditation and it moved the needle for me. I want to walk with you through learning how to find more zen in your life.
Wanna Feel Good?
It’s not a sign of weakness to seek out ways to know yourself, heal old wounds, and find a balance in life that doesn’t leave you feeling depleted. Your longest relationship in your entire life is with yourself. Once you’ve learned to manage this relationship well, then you’ll be able to healthily manage your relationships with others. In order to move forward, you may need to start by reflecting.
Tips for Making Life Easier
One of the authors and spiritual guides I’ve connected with is Gabby Bernstein. A friend and I recently completed 21 days of meditation with her guidance and I’m constantly learning more about meditation and prayer. I LOVE it. Don’t read that and think it’s easy. It can be a struggle oftentimes, and it requires discipline. But I love opening my heart to a deeper connection with God. Learning to live in the flow, stop resisting, and being open to what God wants for my life is making my life 1. More exciting 2. More fun! 3. EASIER. Ahhhhhh! Life is hard sometimes, let’s explore ways to make it easier!
