We still have one more Small Win to discuss and I saved the best for last! Do this small win and you'll see how your day just becomes better.
Keep on reading!
Today's small win is all about making time to CHILL. With intention.
I know what you're thinking, << Test First Name >>: "she's about to tell me to meditate and I can't do that". Welp, not so fast my friend. Remember this series is called "Small Wins" and that's what's about. I'm here to set you up for success.
But there's a reason why stress is so vilified, and it's because evolutionarily-speaking, we haven't changed but our stressors have. To put it simply: our body reacts in similar ways regardless of the stressor. Whether we're being chased by a lion (unlikely) or we're getting outraged at a social media post, those stress hormones FIRE UP the same way and cause all kinds of collateral damage like:
- Weight gain
- General Inflammation
- Difficulty focusing
- and more.
Here's how to reduce stress in the simplest way:
SCHEDULE 👏 BREAKS
Do this for at least two weeks and come back to me to tell me how it went! Chances are you will feel less stressed, more energetic, and just with a better outlook in life!
I like to schedule one after-lunch break and an early evening one. I usually walk, listen to a podcast, or just consciously do nothing: no phone checking, no chores, no thinking about work.
