Hi Julie

What a month, the energies feel  like they are getting  more intense every week, don't you think?

What if you could literally train your body to THRIVE under stress? 

When we’re stressed, most of us try to:

• Think our way through it
• Numb out with distractions
• Or let it take over our day 

But, if there’s one thing you can do to start moving through stressful situations quicker and with more resilience…

It’s to move your body on a regular basis.

Why? Because exercise actually trains your body to handle stress by mimicking fight-or-flight, so you get better at dealing with it.

In other words, exercise is a way for your body to “practice” stress so it knows what to do when it strikes! 

As an added bonus, the endorphins can give your mood a boost…

So a quick walk or workout can help take the edge off as stress occurs.

This is so important when it comes to building healthier habits because cortisol — your body’s stress hormone – can make it harder to manage your appetite, sleep well, or even have the energy to choose healthier habits.

A regular workout routine is ideal…

But if you want some simpler ways to “move” through stress, you might consider:

• Breaking up your day with 15- to 30-second stretches when you start feeling overwhelmed
• Doing light yoga before bed to blow off steam and wind down for sleep
• Or even taking a short walk during your lunch break to clear your mind and stretch your legs! 
• Have a punching pillow - draw a face on it or pin a photo of something/someone that gives you stress and punch it to release the energy. 
• Going for a walk - it can be in the morning or evening, work out the best time for you that suits your energy.

The bottom line is that stress management is a key part of protecting your brain health and keeping you grounded.

That’s why in my 1:1 coaching, we don’t just focus on “going through the motions” to help you move into the life you want...

I also help you prioritize your overall well-being, find ways to improve your sleep, change your relationships, and leverage new ways to manage stress.

That way, you feel good more of the time, and there’s less resistance to building new habits! 

(This is the real “secret” to willpower!)

So instead of just having a cookie-cutter plan off the internet, we’ll work together to figure out how you can reduce your stress and live a LIFE that lends itself to being healthy, strong, and happy.
