Stress

As our lives have become more complicated, our levels of stress have increased. There are simply more things we need to track everyday. Stress is a contributing factor to our leading diseases: Heart Attack, Stroke, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes and more!

Stress is the body's response to threat. Though much of what we experience in our world today is perceived threat - still the body engages the fight or flight in response to the challenges we face. By learning to handle stress better, we can reduce the physiological response, and experience greater wellbeing.

There are some people who handle stress very well, and others who seem unable to handle much at all. Through our life experiences, our brain can actually have created stress habits - automatic responses of stress to different situations. We can have stress habits around money, people, traffic, family, friends, our job - any area of life.

These habits might seem automatic, but we can actually help the brain learn new strategies for handling stress, replace the old stress habits, and train your brain to stress less - increasing your well-being on a daily basis!

Break free of old patterns - Stress Less and Enjoy Life More!

With the right tools - you can learn to handle stress better and enjoy your life more! Here are some simple things you can do to begin reducing your level of stress. Here are just a few:

Reduce Caffeine: Caffeinated drinks can aggravate your body's fight or flight response, and leave you feeling jittery and anxious.

Take a high quality vitamin. Your body uses more vitamins, especially B vitamins when you experience stress.

Incorporate Exercise: Physical activity breaks down the cortisol (stress hormone that can accumulate in your body). Plus, it has added health benefits of improving circulation, body functioning, and a greater feeling of wellbeing.

Supplements: Herbal helps are available at health food stores including Valerian Root, Kava Kava, and others. Make sure you are familiar with the cautions, and check with your health care professional.

Take breaks throughout the day to vary your focus. Taking a walk at lunch is a great way to get the body moving, and to get the mind to shift your thinking. You'll feel more focused, even after just 10 min.

More Quiet Time: With our fast pace society, it seems we have less and less time. One of the first things to fall off our agenda when we get busy is self care. Even adding in 10 min a day is a great way to increase your personal awareness, get focused, and identify whats really important to you. Journaling, Meditation, Yoga, Massage, and more are great ways to let your mind get quiet and relax.

Prioritize your Life: It's easy for what's important to get lost if we aren't taking the time to prioritize what we want. Use the Life Balance Wheel to see where your priorities are, find it on Life Coaching pages
