As Stress Awareness Month continues, this week well explore common habits that may actually be building stress in your life, and some of the most effective stress busters that you can use to reclaim control of the stress that life can serve up.

Our goal isn’t to create a life free of stress!  Instead, we can feel empowered in how it affects us physically and emotionally.  Whether you naturally feel empowered by stress (but hopefully don’t take that to the extreme!)  or if you feel debilitated by it, you can find the balance that serves you best with some simple but powerful changes in perspective and self care practices that don’t overwhelm your To Do list.

In this episode we explore 

• 2 types of stress perception, and how you can change
• Habits that are probably building stress in your life 
• Why “numbing out” is really so harmful 
• The downfalls of toxic positivity 
• How personal connection can help - on so many levels! 
• Coming back to balance with breath 
• Why laughter is such good medicine 
• The power of movement 
• Getting dirty to clear your mind 
• How positive genius can change your life 
• Raising your happiness “set point”
