EP60: Living in a Constant State of Stress? Here's Your Solution

Today's episode is about something we all experience: Living in a constant state of stress. We're always busy, doing something and trying to accomplish something that sometimes puts us in a constant state of stress—But we all need rest to prevent our stress from inhibiting our progress.

Listen in as Christina and Brittany explain how you can go about sitting idle with your thoughts, especially if you are constantly stressed out, and normalize slowing down and being present.

In this episode, they talk about:

• There is no need to feel guilty or ashamed about relaxing and taking time for yourself
• Acknowledging that you do deserve some relaxation and downtime
• It's okay to slow down and take time for yourself if you're in a high-stress situation.
• Some tips on how to avoid feeling guilty and ashamed when taking time for yourself and being present.

Memorable Quotes:

"Your goals don't require a rest. Your goals require you to go harder, but… there is a point where working harder becomes very ineffective, and sometimes we need to take a couple of steps back in order to really propel us forward in life. But it's so critical to be aware of when it's required to pull back and when it's required to push forward."

"Be okay with slowing down sometimes and not feeling the guilt around it because if you are bringing that guilt into your rest days and your time for yourself, then you're really not using it. So remember, it's okay to slow down, it's okay to be present, but we also wanna have that discipline to know when we wanna push forward and when we wanna work harder."
