23. The Habit of Stress (Part 1)

This month on The Habit Thrive Podcast, we are going to shine a light on what I like to call our Habit of Stress. I know it seems a little odd to be focusing on stress during the season of joy, peace and celebration - even I did a little double-take looking at the word “stress” on my podcast calendar. But, by exploring the idea that our stress response could be habit based ( at least sometimes) I find it gives me hope.  For me, it helps me recognize it, reframe it and as a result bring more joy and peace into my life.  And this is my hope for you too. So join me this week as we apply Charles Duhigg's Habit Loop of Cue-Routine-Reward ( From the book The Power of Habit) to stress and our stress response. When are you"stressed" or thinking stressful thoughts? (the Cue) What are you saying to yourself? (Routine or Behaviour) How can you create a Reward that encourage you to reframe your thoughts and carry on? Be open to what arises....Happy exploring 🙏. Lorrie xoxox Loving the show? Let’s connect!
