How do you handle the fucking stress?
It’s a stressful time:
- WORK: EOQ – “Will I make my goals / deadlines?”
- EMPLOYMENT: Finding / Keeping - "What can I do?"
- HOME: Sharing Space 24/7 – “How do I stay calm?”
- HEALTH: CV19 – “Will my family / bubble stay infection-free?”
Coping can take many forms.
It’s time to apply the nuggets of wisdom we've been reading for about a year now.
- Exercise: release endorphins
- Sleep: we are more resilient when rested
- Meditate: create new structures in your brain
- Connect with others: beware of isolation; “belonging” is critical to wellbeing
- Forgive: yourself and others; don’t let grudges and slights eat at you
- Track/journal your gratitude: thoughts, words & actions (gamify your life)
- Agency: keep doing things you like and can do - read, paint, walk, cook...
And cat videos. 😺
Seriously.
5-minutes of watching cat-videos will help clear your head, warm your heart, reduce stress, and bring a smile.
Do you agree?
