This week on Melanin Well we uncovered the final building block of the “Brick by Brick: Building Your Black Girl Wellness Toolkit” series; the stress management block.
This episode is going to equip Black women of faith to unpack & identify different stressors and better tolerate stress over time.
This week, I shared a lot of my own personal experiences, my client’s experiences, and so many practical techniques like breathwork and the 3P’s (planning, prioritizing, and preparing) to build resilience.
🎧 Who Should Listen:
- Black women of faith who are feeling chronically overwhelmed and/or stressed
- Anyone who wants to learn more about stress management and building resilience
Key Takeaways:
- Stress Management is Essential for Black Women of Faith: I emphasized the importance of stress management for Black women of faith who are often juggling multiple demands and facing unique challenges.
- Understanding Stressors: This episode explores different types of stressors, including physical, mental/cognitive, emotional, spiritual, social/relational, and environmental stressors.
- Building Blocks of Stress Management: The episode introduces the concept of "building blocks" for stress management. These include skills (like “tolerating stress”), practices ( like “intentional breathwork” and “making time and planning ahead), and daily habits to support them.
