Stressed

Stressed?

Is your inner voice going a million miles an hour while the kids are screaming for your attention? Maybe the dog is barking in the background on top of the screaming kids, the phone is ringing, you’ve had a long day at work and you just want to crawl in a hole. Have you had a day like this?
What do you do? Many people lash out at their loved ones. What’s a better way to handle life when you’re stressed?
Reach an agreement with your family members that when you need a break you’ll give a signal. When they see that signal they know to give you a specified amount of time alone (decide on the amount of time in advance).
During your quiet time, practice focusing on your breathing and reducing your heart rate; imagine the blood slowing its movement through your body. Release what happened earlier in the day and appreciate the moment your in for what it is, perfection.
After a while of practicing this you’ll find that you’re able to quickly tap into that peaceful place. Practice and let me know how it works for you.
