Stress Resiliency Toolkit

Feeling stressed? You’re not alone. About 55% of Americans report feeling stressed during the day. And 77% of people say stress interferes with their health.

Let’s face it... we all deal with stress now and then. It’s part of life. But when stress lingers for too long, that’s when problems arise. 

Stress activates your sympathetic nervous system, also know as your body’s “fight or flight” response. This triggers the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, preparing your body to run for the hills -- or fight for your life. 

In fight or flight, your heart rate and breathing speed up and energy is diverted away from non-essential tasks like digestion and detox. This a good thing when faced with a real emergency, like being chased by a bear. 

But modern life throws stress at us every day. Between traffic, bills, hectic work schedules, health challenges, and relationship issues -- stress is everywhere. 

And while we can’t avoid stress altogether, we CAN create a lifestyle that helps us bounce back when stress hits. 

Here's a Stress Resiliency Toolkit for you to use 🙃

Hope this helps. Don't forget not to take life too seriously. Before we know it, our time will be nearing an end and I can guarantee none of us wished we worked more or sweat the small stuff.

Know your truth.

Speak your mind.

Tell someone you like (or love) them.

Hang with your friends.

Take deep breaths and enjoy the beauty of the earth.

Squeeze your dog (and kids) extra tight and feel their heart beat and their little breath on your face.

Do what lights you up and forget the rest ❤️
