Hi everyone. My name is Nadia and

this is your lesson on Stress Management. It's a

popular one.

We all experience stress.

However, sometimes you may be ignoring the signs

of the stress showing up in your

body our mind and body are so connected and

the more you're in tune to that connection the

more you can be aware of how stress is turning off.

If you're just going throughout your day grabbing more

coffee to stay awake ignoring the

signs that are showing up physically, then you're

ignoring disease that could be created within the body due

to stress.

Truth is each emotion. You have shows up

physically in your body.

Think about it.

When you get nervous, you may get a pit

in your stomach.

When you're tired, you may even get a headache.

When you're angry, you may feel it in

your head.

Each emotion you have you can feel it

in your body and you will know this when you pay attention

to the Mind and Body Connection.

So, how does Mind and Body Connection help with Stress

Management?

It's a sign. It's almost like an alarm. It's almost

like a top on your shoulder to say slow down when

you ignore those signs.

You create thickness. You create

illness.

And time and time again that comes up

bigger and bigger until you may have

to do something about it.

Don't let it get to that point.

So managing stress is knowing when

you're stressed knowing when you're triggered.

Maybe it's work. Maybe you've been given

a huge assignment and now you feel a headache coming

on.

Pause that is your trigger that is your side

breathe find something create

a tool kit within you

that you can turn to each time

stress pops up.

The favorite tool. I love to give everyone is

to remember to breathe.

The power in your breath can calm you

immensely.

It's nothing that is you have to overthink. It's

free and it's always accessible to

you.

Just remembering to pause.

Relax, your shoulders. Close your eyes and

take a deep breath.

It will calm you down. It'll provide mental clarity.

It will call it will create emotional calmness.

And allow you to look at the situation with a clear head.

When your Go-Go all the time and looking

at something from a stressful mindset.

From a stressful standpoint, you're not

going to be able to tackle the problem the way

you need to sometimes the problem does not need

to be tackled right away.

And that's important to know when you know how

your triggered and when you know how to

deal with these stressors.

I also want to invite you to do something that I love called

cognitive reframing.

If you're looking at a situation and you catastrophize it

into the worst thing possible up goes

distress.

But if you're able to reframe the situation and pay

attention to what you know in that present moment.

What's in your power in that present moment?

It dilutes the seriousness.

And the chaos that you may be mounting up

around that one little thing.

And down goes to stress.

The more you learn how to reframe and flip your thought process.

The more well-equipped you are to lower

your stress on a daily basis.

And that is such a powerful tool so ask yourself.

How many times have you catastrophized something?

And it didn't even end up happening.

You're creating stress word doesn't need to

exist.

So be mindful of the times when you

are stressed be mindful of the times

of what you have control of and that's

the first step towards proper Stress Management.

This was your lesson on stress. My name

is Nadia.
