Never. Ever. Underestimate the importance of reducing your stress and anxiety.
Stress is the number one cause for Heart Disease, Irritable Bowel Disease, Headaches, High Blood Sugar, Obesity, and Depression... Just to name a few.
You may be thinking...
"oh, I got this... I can handle it"
or
"How in the world could I possibly reduce my stress?!... I can't quit my job or get rid of my family!"
And you would be partially correct about the second comment, you highly likely are not in the position of quitting your job if that is the source of your stress {for example}.
But you would definitely not be correct about the first comment. You might think that you "got this" but over time, it is going to take a toll on you physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
So, how to deal with this?
Bills are always going to be waiting for you. You can't quit your job and move to Bali to live on the beach. You have to be there for your children and family.
You become more resilient.
How do you become more resilient?
You literally have to train your nervous system to get better at down regulating out of your Chronic Sympathetic Fight / Flight Response.
How do you do this?
Receive gentle bodywork modalities like Bowen Therapy or Acupuncture
Receive Reiki or an other type of energy healing modality
Meditate
Exercise regularly
Get sun exposure
Go hug a tree and walk in the grass barefoot
Receive Sound Therapy and Chakra Healing
Cut out or decrease your alcohol consumption.
ALL of these things assist you in breaking that Chronic Sympathetic Nervous System Activation that is a sure fire recipe for an eventual health crisis for you.
Doing ANY of these activities on a regular basis will help you increase your Heart Rate Variability and make you more resilient and decrease your likelihood of developing a chronic health condition.
