E8: How to Deal With Stress and Lower Your Anxiety

In certain life situations, stress can be helpful in heightening our awareness and preparing us to perform. When stress becomes chronic and untreated, however, it can negatively impact all areas of our life - from our relationships, to our physical and emotional well-being. In this week’s episode, I’ll talk about the side-effects of stress, (particularly stress at work) and why eliminating the stressor entirely isn’t always the best solution. I’ll share some of my own experiences with stress management while raising five kids, and offer some stress coping mechanisms that have been helpful in my life. BONUS: We’ve created a free printable download for this episode showing ways that you can decrease stress and increase peace in your own life! Get your copy at  www.amymcinnes.ca/stress
