34. Ditch The Stress

In this episode, I shared ten ways to let go of unnecessary stress in order to live a more calm and fulfilling life — a life with less weight on your mind and unease in your gut. I distinguish between the kind of stress that drives productivity from the kind of stress that feels like dread. Know the difference and go through my checklist of ten common stressors to see where you could make a change. One small change can yield incredible results in your daily inner peace.

“When you neglect your ability to plug yourself back in, to get a good night's sleep, to unplug from technology, to set down the weight of the world, to just pour into yourself, whatever that means for you, if that's relaxing with a book, if that's a workout, if it's going for a walk, if it's a conversation with a friend or a loved one, if it's cooking a great meal, whatever it is for you, what can you do to make sure that you are resting and recharging? It's as important as the action and the proactive steps you're taking in your life to do great things.” - Trina

Key points:

• We draw unnecessary stress from many places in life. Identify what your triggers are so you can address them or remove them.

• From unrealistic deadlines, to the scale, to perfectionism, there are ways to ditch the stress without guilt.

• The goal is not to remove all responsibility from your life, and to let the world pass by while you sit and watch “stress-free.” The goal is to contribute and show up as your best self every day. You can’t do that under a blanket of stress.
