When you think about “stress reduction,” you probably think about trying to find ways to remove stress from your life…but the reality is:
Trying to get rid of stress completely ends up stressing us out more because it is impossible! There will always be stress in life and we actually need a healthy level of it. (Yes there is such thing as good stress.)
Stress isn’t the enemy; chronic unmanaged stress is.
So the best approach isn’t trying to remove stress altogether; it is about developing tools to cope with and manage stress better. (There are some stressors that CAN be removed, I am just saying not ALL stress can or should be removed.)
This week on the Coach Cody podcast, @dezhartwell and I break down how chronic stress impacts your health. How it can wreck your sleep, mood, immune system, energy, and goals. Make sure to tune in to spot the signs of stress and what you can do about it!
