“Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. It’s about befriending who we are already.” – Pema Chodron

Meditation is at the heart of living mindfully. Learn how to begin your own practice and other techniques for living more mindfully every day by visiting https://ironbelle.iinhealthcoaching.co/ESEM0001

Be mindful of your intake of stimulants and depressants such as alcohol, caffeine, and sugar. Too much of any of these things can wreak havoc on your stress levels.

Try to avoid caffeine and sugar in large amounts, especially in the second half of your day (before you go to sleep).

Additionally, if you’re someone who uses alcohol to cope with stress, try introducing new methods for self-soothing. Alcohol can deplete your energy both in the short- and long-term, mess with your hormones, and contribute to systemic inflammation that can lead to many chronic health issues.

Boundaries are the internal set of rules that we establish for ourselves. They outline what behaviors we will and won’t accept, how much time and space we need from others, and what priorities we have.

Having a healthy set of boundaries are essential because they help us determine how we respect ourselves, take care of our well-being, and ultimately make decisions that affect the rest of our lives, including both short- and long-term decisions that impact our stress levels.

Can you think of any changes you can make to cut excess stress out of your life that also help you create healthier boundaries?

Lessen stress with proper time management!

If you’re finding yourself rushing through your day, overwhelmed with tasks and “to-do’s,” make it a point to prioritize and organize your tasks in a way that creates a less stressful and more enjoyable life.

Are you someone who feels better when they have a to-do list to check off? Or does seeing it all at once overwhelm you?

There students were all naturals... in the YogaFit Ayurveda 2 Yoga Teacher Training this weekend. We even had a special visit from the Bee Keeper as we were talking about raw honey.

When stress evolves into chronic stress, strong hormones are released into our brain and body. These hormones are intended for short-term emergencies but when they are released for extended periods of time, they can actually shrink, impair, and kill brain cells.

Keep your brain sharp by finding tools to tackle your stress management once and for all!

While stress is inevitable, burnout is not!

So what exactly is burnout? It’s the accumulation of excessive stressors over time, which ultimately results in unmanageable stress levels that lead to psychological and physical health issues. The term came into fruition to describe people who work in “helping” professions (like doctors and nurses), but it can happen to anyone.

Have you ever experienced burnout?

You can access the benefits of “good” stress by gently pushing against personal boundaries. Cooking complex meals, completing a difficult exercise, riding a rollercoaster, starting a new job, learning a new hobby, starting a new romantic relationship.

Can you name an example of a time that “good” stress benefited you or at least made you feel better?

You’ve likely heard the term “fight-or-flight,” but how well do you understand this phenomenon?

Fight-or-flight is an immediate response triggered by the autonomic nervous system. The body is flooded with the hormones cortisol and norepinephrine, which heighten the senses, increase your heart rate, increase blood pressure, and plunge the brain into a state of hyper-awareness.

Essentially, the part of your brain that’s responsible for emotional calm and physical relaxation is overwhelmed. If we perceive a stressful situation, no matter how serious the threat, fight-or-flight is the reaction that ensues. This reaction made sense back before modern civilization when our lives were physically threatened, but as sophisticated as our bodies are, they still cannot tell the difference between the type of threat, whether you’re getting chased by a lion, or you have a work deadline looming.

When was the last time that you experienced this sensation?
