#210: How To Use Stress To Your Advantage

Stress isn't something I have to explain. It seems to be the way of life. But in our attempts to de-stress, I wonder are we actually getting more stressed? 

Hear me out. 

It seems we have more 'self-help' books and classes than ever before. Combine that with the trend of self-care and the desire to be healthier, I fear we're getting more overwhelmed with information than we are taking action because we're truly informed. 

I have more people than I can count tell me, "I do everything right, I eat well and exercise and yet I still gain weight."

Do you relate? 

Or maybe you better relate to this statement, "There's so much information out there, I don't even know what to do."

I think we're taking something intended for the good of ourselves, health and we're twisting it into the very thing stealing our health. Even more, we're ruining our lives by allowing our fixation on the outcome to deter us from fully living where we are. 

So my question that I want to answer today, what if what we thought was bad, is actually good and the good actually bad? Maybe better said, what if our fixation on health is causing more stress, taking something intended for good and making it bad? And what if a little bit of the right stress can actually be used for our good? 

Today on the podcast, I break down good stress vs. bad stress and how to use stress to your advantage - for health and life. 

Deep breathes - this could be the beginning of something new and beautiful.
