Breathe: The Stress Less Podcast

3 Steps to Live with More Peace and Less Pressure This Year #195


Listen Later

Do you feel like you’ve been pushing your way through life — even when your heart longs for more peace?

As a new year begins, many of us want things to feel different. Less pressure. More ease. More space to breathe. Yet instead of slowing down, we often find ourselves doing what we’ve always done: moving faster, carrying more, and pushing through — even when our body and soul are tired.

In today’s episode, Bonnie shares a deeply personal story about injury, slowing down, and learning to walk in a new way — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

This episode will help you release pressure, listen to your body, and step into a gentler, more life-giving way of living — one step at a time.

Key Takeaways

  • Why so much of our stress comes from living under pressure — not from doing something wrong
  • How learning to slow down can open space for emotional and spiritual renewal
  • Why the nervous system doesn’t calm through logic but through felt safety
  • One simple soul care practice to help you nurture peace instead of pushing harder\

Breath Prayer
Inhale: Put off the old and put on the new
Exhale: By the renewing of my mind

Scripture
“Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life…
be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
and put on the new self, created to be like God.”
Ephesians 4:22–24 (NIV)
