37: 5 Quick Ways to Reduce Stress & Take Back Control

One of my coaches once said, the difference between panic and excitement is the exhalation. And it’s so true. A normal reaction to stress is to hold your breath, or breathe very shallow. But when you are excited, the exhalation usually comes a bit more easily. And that exhalation can be such a game changer. Short-term stress responses are a natural part of life, and something that you can’t avoid even if you would love to. But, long-term chronic stress is not something to take lightly as the consequences of that will affect you in a number of negative ways. I know this does not come as a surprise to you and I’m sure you are very aware of it. But what can you do to reduce the stress reactions? In this episode I will go through five ways that will support you to handle stress better and feel more in control. Other episodes mentioned or related to stress/stress symptoms/sleep/meditation/relaxation: 34: 15 Healthy Habits to Better Sleep and Higher Performance28: The Breath of Success: Unlocking Energy and Efficiency in Minutes17: The Positive Effects of Meditation on Performance, Productivity & Wellbeing12: How to Know When to Pull the Brake, Part 1 (Physical & Emotional Symptoms of Chronic Stress)Find the show notes and other resources at sofiavoncelsing.com/podcast.--------------------Find all episodes & show notes at sofiavoncelsing.com/podcast.
