5 Steps to Manage Stress
Recently I hosted the first of many Live Facebook Video Workshops – this one on Steps to Manage Stress.
Learning to better manage stress in our lives is a 5 step process.
Here are the steps and some tools to help you:
1/ Develop an understanding of how stress affects us physiologically and psychologically.
• Stress Management Diary
• Understanding self
• Paying attention to self-talk
2/ Learn to recognise the symptoms of stress within our bodies.
• Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercise (PMRE)
• Meditation and Mindfulness
• Self-awareness
3/ Understand what our personal stress triggers are.
• Acknowledging who, what, when, where and why
4/ Develop techniques for releasing stress (returning our bodies to the relaxation response).
• Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercise (PMRE)
• Meditation
• Breathing
• Gratitude Journal
• Exercise and stretching
5/ Learn how to avoid or minimise the situations in our lives that cause us stress.
• Avoidable or Un-avoidable?
• Release what doesn’t serve you
• Adopt new ways of preparing for or managing personal stress
You’ll find a heap of my other Facebook videos HERE.
I’ll be hosting several more over the coming months on overcoming emotional eating (why you eat when you’re not hungry), beating binge eating, building body confidence, soulful self-care, stopping self-sabotage, using affirmations… and a heap of other valuable workshops to help you be happy, love yourself and taste freedom from stressful eating!
When you watch the workshop video above you can sign up to follow and get a notification whenever I’m LIVE on Facebook 🙂
See you then!
