Stress Relief

Denise is back from her month of vacation, Shawna has embraced a new running challenge, and Adrienne made it back from Fort Myers. But amidst their adventures, STRESS still managed to make an unwelcome appearance. In episode 72, the pirates talk about STRESS RELIEF and share some of their favorite stress-relief resources!  

Feeling stressed? PACEs Connection encourages us to do the following... 

• Pay attention to how stress affects us. Do we have physical symptoms like headaches? Are we compelled to clean closets? 
• Be kind to ourselves. 
• Do one thing each day that brings us joy: Laugh at a cat video, read a book, do a puzzle, buy yourself flowers, reach out to someone you care about, have a cup of tea! 
• Get support/Learn more.

Leslie Stephens offers a weekly blog called Morning Person, and suggests a two-day process to reset and recharge when we are feeling overwhelmed. 

• DAY 1 - RESET... Ask yourself, "What do I need to finish, to be able to completely enjoy myself tomorrow?" For Leslie, this includes cleaning out the fridge, meal prep, chasing inbox "almost-zero," weeding, cleaning couches/rugs, straightening up, and working out (the pirates embraced a slightly shorter list!)
  
  
• DAY 2 - RECHARGE... This day is all about relaxation! Leslie hits the dog park, bikes to brunch, plants seeds in her garden, takes a yoga class, and enjoys dinner and ice cream. 

Check out Leslie's post to read more (there is a seven-day free trial)!
