On a scale of 1 to 10 what is yours? Is your stress a long-term stress or does it come in go in moments of overwhelm?

Did you know that chronic stress puts your health at risk?

This is why it is so important to learn healthy coping skills and alleviate stressors as you can.

- Hold a Mindset of Gratitude

- Use Aromatherapy

- Delegate Tasks

A mindset of gratitude quite literally creates a whole new you! Gratitude can boost neurotransmitter serotonin and activate the brain stem to produce dopamine. Dopamine is our brain's pleasure chemical. The more we think positive, grateful thoughts, the healthier and happier we feel.

Aromatherapy is as close to a magic pill as you can get! Aromatherapy is commonly used to treat a wide variety of mental and physical problems from stress and anxiety, to headaches and digestive issues. Essential oils trigger messages that get sent to your brain's limbic system, which controls your emotions, memory and how you learn.

Delegating tasks creates a more freeing and focused lifestyle! Effective delegating doesn't just prevent stress and burnout, but it also enhances capacity to accomplish more. When you delegate work thoughtfully, you effectively remove tasks that take from your bandwidth which empowers you to focus on your skill sets and work on things that gives you life.

So much of the long-term stress can be alleviated with a few simple transitions. You don't have to be an expert to get started. I am here to help you discover the real moments that steal your joy and develop a strategy for empowered living.
