#55 – Stress Management Tips to Prevent Breakdowns, Burnouts, and Collapses
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I totally wish that instead of trigonometry and other worthless stuff, my high school had offered classes like self leadership, emotional regulation, and especially ... stress management.
As a coach, I see a lot of stress. And here's the truth: most people feel helpless against it.
We experience too much too fast.
We have a lot of traumas (big and little T) that keep us disconnected from our bodies.
Because of that disconnect, we often don't even recognize stress until it's screwing up our health, relationships, jobs, and enjoyment of life.
Enough, I say!
This podcast episode is the stress class I wish I'd had in high school. We'll learn:
- What is stress?
- What's a stress collapse, and what are some signs you're on the verge of one?
- How to start reconnecting to your body in ways that feel safe
- Positive coping mechanisms
- My 5-step process for managing stress in a healthy way.
