Unpopular Opinion: Stress Management Strategies

from Dopamine Diaries · host Coach Kate

I'm in a stressful season of life. Like really in it. And I can pinpoint the exact moments this year where I pushed past my limit without even realizing it.I get into the physical signs I've been noticing (digestion, bloating, sleep, appetite, the caffeine cravings that make everything worse), and why my instinct, and probably yours too, is to fix it by controlling harder. More rigid routines, more restriction, more discipline. And why that always makes it worse.I talk about what it actually looks like to give your body what it needs instead of what feels productive, and why the non-glamorous advice is usually the thing that actually works.In this one:The physical cues that tell me I'm in a season of stressWhy controlling harder always backfiresWhat my non-negotiables actually look like right nowWhy surrender, not more control, is the real medicineIf you've tried to overwork, over-exercise, and over-discipline your way out of stress and it's never once actually worked, this one's for you.HBA: https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/hba
