Stress Stoppers: Try These!

Stress Stoppers ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰

You know that moment when your heart races, your muscles tense, your mind checks out, and everything in your body just wants to escape wherever you are?

Itโ€™s our acute stress response, and we call it โ€œfight or flight.โ€

When I notice this happening (the first step is awareness!), here are some things I do:

๐Ÿ’ก Notice my thoughts or emotions.

โ˜€๏ธ Reframe negative thoughts to the positive.

๐Ÿ‘ฃ Put my feet to the earth to feel grounded.

๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Take some deep breaths.

โ›ฐ๏ธChange my location.

๐Ÿ’ƒ Move my body (dance, shake, jump, walk).

None of this is easy.

It takes practice.

But learning to stop stress in its tracks is one of the best things you can do for your current health and your future self.
