Would you like to know the secret?
I would like a £ pound for every time someone says to me " how do you do it all?" "you are always on the go!" or "don't you ever stop!" - you must be so stressed!
Very occasionally I stop and think about it - but the word stress is not something I ever think about. Since I started working for myself I can honestly say that stress is not an emotion I ever experience.
Yes, there are times when life throws a curved ball at me and it's tough but I don't feel stressed.
April is Stress Awareness month and I was wondering how you are affected by this and what you do about it!
Do you feel stressed on a daily basis?
Do you experience a feeling of emotional overwhelm?
Is it a word that you use frequently?
Or do you just get on with life and get stuff done and then sit and relax?
I would really like to know how others manage their stress levels, there are so many ways we can help ourselves and also so many other natural solutions that we can use. We have just had the London Marathon - does running help you?
The most important thing is to recognise that you are feeling under pressure - there are many who don't recognise it as it's your natural mood - it's your "modus operandi" and you are unaware maybe of what is going on.
If you are naturally manically busy, struggle to sleep, can be quite sharp and irritable on a regular basis, maybe drinking quite heavily, not enjoying life, constantly feeling grumpy - maybe you should take a breath and think about what is happening.
My next question would be is that if you are feeling any of the above:- how do you resolve it?
When you’re feeling stressed, how do you relieve it?
✅ Go for a walk in nature?
✅ Sit and take some deep breaths?
✅ Have a good cry?
✅ Maybe chat it through with a friend?
I would love to hear from you - what does your life feel like right now? and how do you resolve it? Also what is your solution? Are you able to use any of the above.
Please let me know, leave me a note below and we can chat further.
