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.
The POWER of ROUTINE
A solid routine fosters a well-worn groove for one's mental energies and helps stave off the tyranny of moods. Having a routine can be helpful in times of unpredictability, uncertainty, and stress. Setting a daily routine creates structure, helps us reach our goals and reduces procrastination. Entrepreneur.com says, “The real power in routines is the way they can help us build momentum, break bad habits, prioritize our lives and make us more efficient.”
Set Your Intention
Think about the last time you set an intention. What was it about? Did you see it through to completion? As a business owner, my intentions are often around what I’d like to accomplish in my business. I want to be intentional about my intention- the WHY behind what I intend to accomplish.
If I intend to grow my business, what is it that I really desire?
Find out how to be more intentional with what you want to accomplish in your life.
Living Your Values
The first chapter is about identity. Just as we got curious about ourselves to discover our dharma, (hyperlink!) it’s important to know what we value to see if we live out our own priorities. A quick exercise in listing out your values, and an audit of how you are spending your time and your money, will show you if your values are in alignment with how you are living out your life.
