I hope you’re well because a lot of people are still stressing out these days and since this month, (April) is Stress Awareness Month I’ve got lots to tell you.

Did you know that stress doesn’t just make you feel bad, it can actually damage your body? 

Did you also know that in 2022, 84% of Americans felt stressed at least once per week? That means if you gathered 100 people in a room, 84 of them would be experiencing considerable stress.  Whoaa! That’s TOO MUCH! 

Oh it’s real! I’ve had some tough times and I know you have too.  

A man contacted me recently about his experience with stress and it broke my heart. 

He said…

“I’m an ex husband who suffered mental and emotional domestic violence, and I couldn’t talk about 30 years of bullying by my ex wife due to the stigma that men can’t be bullied. Unfortunately, my daughter became a bully too.

Police had to finally step in as I went to 20 stones (280 lbs), nearly died twice in the last three years with multiple different conditions caused by stress and anxiety…. sadly, but gladly I’m happier I lost 7 stones (98 lbs) during my hospital stay last year, as heart failure causes an accumulation of water throughout the body. Now I’m on the road back to what I love to do.  I used to be a good health club sales and marketing membership manager and now I’ve finally found the confidence to reclaim what was stolen from me. So l’m keeping your video as inspiration for me to fight strong now and I’II show you my progress by end of year, I’m very inspired by your story as it resonates with me on a very deep level.”

This Broke My Heart…Stress affects EVERY single system of the body – your nerves, your muscles, your hormones, even how your body digests and processes food! 

Stress can:

  • Weaken your immune system
  • Increase your risk for cardiovascular issues
  • Cause digestive problems
  • Lead to headaches and migraines
  • Trigger sleep disturbances
  • Make skin problems worse 
  • Create musculoskeletal problems
  • Increase anxiety and depression
  • Cause libido changes
  • Bring on fatigue & loss of motivation

Occasional stresses are pretty inevitable – maybe you’re stuck in traffic one day, maybe you’re afraid you’ll be late for a flight, maybe your refrigerator is on the fritz and you don’t want it to break before you get a new one! Little everyday stresses happen, but the secret is fighting these stresses before they turn into a chronic situation.

The longer you experience stress, the higher your risk becomes for these issues. 

WHAT TO DO:

So how are you going to beat back stress? 

Start by making yourself and your needs a priority. Set healthy boundaries. Say no! Give yourself permission to rest. Connect with your friends and family to share in joy. Take time for yourself and indulge in the things you love.

According to Harvard Medical School, one of the most POWERFUL tools you have to combat stress (and its effects on your body) is exercise. 

Just say NO to STRESS and YES to YOURSELF! 

  1. Do a self search and ask yourself: 
  2. Have I been consistent with my workouts? 
  3. How am I doing with my nutrition? 
  4. Am I finishing what I start? 
  5. Do I even know what to do at this point?
