🌟 Key Takeaways from this Episode:

1. Stress Isn't All Bad Gaylyn shares that some stress is actually necessary—it gets us moving each day! The real trouble starts when stress becomes chronic or overwhelming. Learning your own optimal level of stress is vital to being your most productive and effective self.
2. Know Your Stressors One of the first steps Gaylyn recommends is to identify exactly what's causing your stress. Write down both external situations and internal worries or fears. Awareness is the gateway to change!
3. Perspective is Powerful How we view our circumstances makes a huge difference. Gaylyn powerfully illustrates how shifting our focus from our overwhelming situations to God can bring deep peace—even in the hardest moments.
4. Stress Manifests in Many Ways Stress affects our minds, bodies, emotions, and relationships. Tune into your symptoms—chest pains, gut issues, anxiety—or ask a trusted friend for feedback if you're unsure what "effective" feels like for you.
5. Actionable Steps to Manage Stress

• Regularly process what's on your mind and make time to release worries.
• Pare down your schedule if you're overcommitted.
• Seek input from God, close friends, or professionals to recognize blind spots.
• Remember, stress is rarely caused by just one thing—it's often cumulative!
