I remember the first time I felt the stress in my body…
I was about to receive chemo and I had gone through a stressful encounter with people who I care about.
As I came home I felt the stress hormones running through my body for days…
It was my worst chemo session….
I felt exhausted…
For the first time in my life I felt the stress hormones…
And I realised that I had been treating my body with these hormones day in day out for the last 20 plus years…🤦‍♀️
I could feel the stress was dragging myself down…
even more than the actual chemo…
𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱….
The chemo toxicity wasn’t even close to the level of toxicity the stress produced in my body…😲
𝗜 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻….
While you think that
👉living in stress is the only way of living…
👉you need to be stressed all the time to make s*** happen….
👉Being stressed is the definition of your worth and reality
I am here to tell you, it doesn’t have to be that way…
Since cancer, I have gone through many stressful situations…
But I have also been using daily tools to keep on top of my stress…
Chances are life will keep throwing challenging things at you…
Thinking that you can live a life without challenges is an utopia.
𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘀…
If you don’t do something daily to release your body and mind from it…
Before you know it, your whole body is covered with paper cuts.
Now…
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳: 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗱𝗼?
➡️Take time for yourself to process your thoughts…
➡️Check in with your inner self ( a little like you would check in with a friend)
➡️Set time to do something you love: read, listening to music, play an instrument, dancing…
The next question I can hear you asking is:
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗜 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗴𝗲𝘁?
✨You get less poison been injected in your body each day….
✨You get more centered and less overwhelmed
✨You get more productive because you are not constantly running in a state of flight or fight
✨YOU GET MORE PHYSICAL ENERGY ADN EMOTIONAL FITNESS
