✨ Last time: The magic of pep talks to get yourself out of the stress loop Read it here.
✨ Today: Start feeling less stressed today
Do you wait to finish your to-do list in order to rest only to find that you never finish your to-do list, so you never get to rest?
Do you find yourself frazzled and reactive and then beat yourself up about it later?
Do you dream about leaving your job and moving to the woods where no one can find you?
Do you wish you had time for a break but just can’t seem to get one?
If you can relate to any of these, today’s post is for you (and if you’d prefer an audio-only podcast version, you can find it here or your favorite podcast platform).
I recently took a group of women through my signature workshop, Transform Your Day- 3 simple strategies for stress management, and it was so energizing to see how in just the 60 minutes we spent together these women were able to have breakthroughs that they could carry into their week to transform their own lives.
One of the biggest takeaways for the group was that we don’t have to make changes all at once. Not only is that unsustainable, but it’s also entirely unrealistic for the way that we live our lives.
Instead, when we make little one degree turns or 1% changes, we can start to have an impact on our lives right now without having to completely blow up our lives.
Since this was such a big breakthrough for the women who participated live, I figured… why not bring that to you here on Humans Leading?
I know that this workshop is a little bit longer than some of the other things that I offer, and I understand that you’re a busy person who doesn’t always have 60 minutes all at once.
But… don’t let that stop you! Don’t turn away.
Instead, give yourself permission to do part of it now and then come back to it.
There are three tools in this workshop, so one way to do it might be to listen to one of them and then take that into real life and see how it works for you.
Then come back to the next tool, and so on.
There’s no right or wrong way to do this.
You have to decide the right way for yourself.
I would bet that if you’re a regular reader (or listener) here on Humans Leading or resonated with the questions I asked at the opening of the episode, you have some things in your life that you’d like to change, one of them being to have less stress.
The most important thing to remember is: if you want to live a different life, you have to start doing something differently.
And you have the power to do that today with this episode and whatever small change feels manageable for you. Just commit to one thing.
I’m over here cheering you on and doing my own work along with you because no one has it all figured out, not even me.
And if you missed this workshop but would like to get on the list to know about upcoming events, just subscribe to Humans Leading and you’ll be in the loop.
To get yourself started today, ask yourself: What is one thing you could do differently today (or tomorrow) to create even a little more calm in your day?
I’d love for you to share in the comments so that I can cheer you on. If this resonated with you, feel free to click the heart icon to let me know. And if you fancy sharing this post using the restack button to help more people discover it, I’d really appreciate that too. See you next time!
