Body Beast: Total Body #^%* Stress
Stress is a killer. Normally, I’m pretty good at balancing life and keeping perspective but, every once in a while, it does a sneak attack and takes me out. My dreams have been plentiful and horrifying, my sleep fitful, my day job stressful, I miss the heck out of my kids and have 2 more full days until I get them back, my Beachbody biz is awesome–but I want more, leadership may come naturally to some but it’s still work no matter how you cut it and leading my team of Beachbody coaches is stressing me out, my body has put on the fat & pounds (like it’s supposed to do) but it’s not coming off the way I want it to (but it is coming off), we have a road trip with the boys coming up for the Beachbody Super Saturday event in Alpena, and a film crew hanging at my house. Yeah, I’ve got stress.
But…we all do. The trick is managing dealing with it. Avoid allowing stress to snap your usual triggers–food, booze, drugs, avoiding people, and skipping working out to name a few. Talking about it, exercising, any activity that reduces your stress (knitting, gardening, kick boxing, walking, Bible, writing in your journal, cleaning, family, petting your dog, etc) are healthy ways to push that stress aside and give those elevated hormone levels someplace to go that isn’t going to set your progress back.
If you’ve ever been under stress, you know what I’m saying. I’d love to help you on your journey–your path to a better you. We do better when we know better and we can all learn from each other. I’d love to hear from you and how you handle stress and how your life is going.
Want to workout with me? That’d be AWESOME. Hit me up.
