Many women who feel as if they are walking a tightrope suspended high in the air with no safety net. They work full-time and manage a household complete with or without a spouse, children, and pets. Many are sandwiched between the constant needs of aging parents and their own homes. Some are trying to grow a side hustle business. Still others work in high stress professions like social workers.

Balance is the buzz word that is often tossed around for those of us who are on the treadmill.  To find balance, we must first understand what an unbalanced life looks and feels like. This episode explores the many ways in which imbalance shows up in our lives.

My grandmother learned through experience that life is lived in seasons. Others may refer to it as the ebb and flow of life. Understanding the seasonal nature of life helped me to manage overwhelming stress during difficult times. Seasons change and situations evolve.

Listen as M.L. Bailey Consultants shares the seasons of hope.

The internet is a great place to find answers. A vast array of information is available at our fingertips. Just pop the word into a search engine.

The problem with search engines is that the return is based on key words. This makes it harder to get a specific answer for your specific concern.

Listen as M.L. Bailey Consultants discusses our process for providing the exact solution to your stress problem.

There is a causal relationship between emotional investment and the intensity of stress. Stress will increase relative to how much you care about a situation or event. New or meaningful events cause us to feel a range of emotions. You may feel excitement, fear, uncertainty, anger, frustration to name a few.

Join M.L. Bailey Consultants as we discuss the relationship between emotions and stress.

Stress is Personal. One size fits all interventions do not fit all. Clients who come for stress management know that they want to relax and feel better. They may not know exactly how to make that happen. When I work with someone, I begin by getting a clear picture of where they are starting. Then together we develop a plan to address their specific stress relief needs.

There are general outcomes that I believe are important for everyone. Listen as M.L. Bailey shares the four main results.

The stress response is triggered repeatedly throughout the day. Being cut off by an inconsiderate driver during rush hour is a situation that increases stress. Encounters with difficult customers or colleagues are also situations that lead to stress. Having to complete a project or presentation for the manager or executive team creates stress as well. This type of stress is usually felt over time or through the duration of the project.

Proper breathing is the absolute best way to reset the stress response by initiating the relaxation response.

Today, we know that certain ways of breathing trigger the relaxation response. Slow, deep breathing quiets the mind and relaxes the body. Deep breathing is the same as abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing. When air is inhaled, it flows deep into the lungs. The expansion of the lungs causes the diaphragm to expand downward. I teach breathing exercises as a part of stress management consultations. Do you want to learn to relieve stress better?
