#1 Tip for Relieving Stress

I hear it all the time. The people I'm speaking with don't always say it outright, but I can hear it in their voice, the tone of the text or email. We are STRESSED. 

And for good reason! Our world is rapidly changing and shifting. What we used to depend on, what we thought was solid and reliable, might not be around tomorrow. 

I teach a class called Stress Rescue™ in which I share the underlying causes and mechanisms of stress in our bodies and lives, as well as the 10 most effective methods for alleviating stress. 

I'd like to share the #1 tip for relieving stress - Breathe. 

By studying blood levels of stress hormones, experts have determined that your brain takes 10 seconds to recognize a "stressor".  This means that you have 10 seconds to pause, and inhibit the stress response. In that pause, you can give your brain the "information" that this is not a stressor. 

The De-Stress Breathing Technique: 

• Breathe, slowly and deeply.
• Count 5 as you breathe in.
• Count 5 as you hold the breath.
• Count 5 as you breathe out.
• Do this 10 times! 

This 10 second pause will buy you the time to make a decision BEFORE your body begins the stress hormone release that will alter your perceptual and physiological state for the next SIX HOURS! 

Stress leads to many problems in our body, mind and emotions - such as:

1. Increase in physical problems and illness
2. Increase in problems in relationships
3. Increase in negative thoughts and feelings
4. Significant increase in bad habits or addictive behavior
5. Exhaustion 

If you are experiencing any of these, it's time to slow down and address your stress. 

Through meditation - and other methods such as the Life Activation Session and teachings and tools of transformation in the Empower Thyself Program - we can alleviate not only stress and it's effects, but the causes of stress in our lives! We become proactive instead of reactive.  ​

Keep in mind that I am offering support through these challenging times. Don't hesitate to reach out and we can schedule a time to talk.
