Stress Prevention and Reduction Affirmation Pod

This month’s theme is Stress Management and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/Stress 
There've been times I've told myself "let's not wait until stress builds up and things go dramatically wrong before making a change."
I don't need to remind us - or maybe I do? - that stress ages us, it puts us more prone to illness or disease. We don't sleep as well, we don't think as clearly. For me, it shows up in how I talk, my facial expressions, on my skin etc.
So in this audio blog episode, I share how I've taken action by doing things to reduce and prevent stress in me and in my life. The ones I highlight are:

 Made bold decisions, a recent one is I quit my job

Give myself wiggle room, I am really careful not to overschedule and overcommit myself

Put money into stress reduction, I purchased food warmers for hosting and entertaining

You Are Worthy ❤️
Feeling down about yourself? Struggling with setting boundaries? Wishing you were better at managing your emotions and staying grounded in the present?
Very often, we lose ourselves in the darkness of our own judgment. We allow our inner critic to drown out our voice of self-compassion, and find ourselves in a downward spiral of negativity - yikes!
But imagine what would happen if you started speaking to yourself kindly. Imagine if you embraced all parts of yourself - even the work in progress parts - and welcomed an abundance of self love into your heart, body, and mind.
Take self love to a whole new level!👇🏻
