  • 47. How To Keep the Small Stresses of Daily Life From Disrupting Your Peace, Joy & Health- "Mindful Moment Series"

    We all have the usual worries like paying bills, or dealing with loss and grief or changing careers, relationship issues etc…


    👉We often think of the big life changing events and major stressors as being bad for our health but in actuality it’s those little daily stressors and annoyances like slow WiFi, waiting in traffic, constantly getting emails… social media alerts, hearing bad news all day etc… that negatively impacts our health in a big way!

    👉All of these little daily stressors and annoyances add up and accumulate — keeping us in a very reactive, habitual and chronic stress response if we allow them to.

    👉And you don’t have to allow it—- there are many things in life that we can not control obviously, but within you is a sanctuary of peace and the Power to choose how you relate and respond to life—-

    👉Mindfulness, attitude, perception and responding without reacting are some key ways to begin protecting your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health against the little daily stressors so you can experience more ease, Joy and peace in your life…
