As an overthinker, I know to well the importance of breathing, meditation, connecting, affirmations, changing my dialogue and monitoring my feeling and emotions. This episode is a meditation for anxiety, for soothing the central nervous system and calming the mind. I really hope you find something from it.

Paula talks, in this episode, about a very important topic... STRESS, stressors, how stress can affect our bodies and minds, and how we can make positive lifestyle changes to help us deal with stress.

Stress is all around us, we ARE going to experience it, there's no escaping it. But in this episode and in Stress Part 2, we learn how we can live with stress and what changes we can make to our lifestyles so that we can adapt to stress and manage our reactions to the world around us.

This episode will get you thinking about how you live your life, how mindful and aware you are, how to identify your stress and how to manage it effectively. We talk about the things that stress us out, as well as a key trigger - society - and the pressures that come with it. We also talk about key lifestyle changes that we could implement to help us ease stress, part 1 talks about nutritional therapy & stress, along with how important it is to get a good nights sleep, how important rest is and how even herbal teas that can sooth our central nervous system. Paula talks about the fight or flight response.

Part 2 is all about lifestyle changes.
