EPISODE 56

Let's have another conversation around stress. Chronic stress can come as a symptom of our choices or the reality reality of our life circumstances, but it's usually a mix of both. I spent a decade create a life of chronic stress based on beliefs I acquired in my childhood and teenage years.

Here's the thing, stress isn't the problem, chronic stress is. There's also some cool new research that suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case.

Join me for the full conversation as I unpack 3 main goals when it comes to stress.

3 take aways from today's conversation:

1. Take your stress seriously, but not so seriously that it stresses you out.
2. Stress management starts with an intentional look at your stressors. Check out episodes 37, 38, 39, & 40 for a series on how you can do just that.
3. When it comes with to stress the 3 goals are to: (1) decrease the likelihood of long term chronic stress (2) to increase your ability to reset from stress more quickly through the vagus nerve (3) To increase your overall capacity for stress
