This month’s theme is Stress Management and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/Stress Complete this sentence: When I feel stressed, I ______________. For me, I get b*tchy and cranky. That doesn't paint a nice picture of me but it's true. Like when I don't get enough sleep, I am at high risk of b*tchy city. Some clients have shared with me that when they feel stressed, they eat. Then it becomes a nasty cycle because they eat because they're unhappy and then they're unhappy because they overeat - ugh! This episode's worksheet gives you the chance to brainstorm and develop better ways to manage stress. By this I mean stuff that doesn't add to your stress or create more stress.

Wishing you were better at managing your emotions and staying grounded in the present? Very often, we lose ourselves in the darkness of our own judgment.
