If life was always smooth sailing then we wouldn’t need to learn how to go with the flow. From minor irritations to major crises, stress is an inevitable part of life. Unfortunately, when things are hectic or uncertain, we tend to react in ways that may in fact add to our stress.

In this episode Laurel shares how to manage with greater ease the inevitable ups and downs of life.

THIS EPISODE'S HOMEWORK

Something to think about:

What does calm feel like?

In our hyper-stressed world, it might have been a while since you experienced a sense of calm. Think about a time when you felt calm – what was that like?

Something to try:

Pause periodically in your day and ask yourself “How am I doing things right now?”

When you ask yourself that question, you are really asking how well you are going with the flow of whatever is happening in the moment. When we pause to ask how we are doing, we give ourselves the chance to switch from being stressed to being calm, grounded and confident.
