Ep.4/ Recharge your self-esteem
Too much stress erodes your self-confidence. USE THESE simple exercises that can recharge your self-esteem whenever you need a boost.
Feeling overwhelmed by the pandemic? You should know that you’re not alone. Our nervous systems are all in overdrive as an effect of COVID-19. If you’re also living with chronic illness, this constant stress can also make your symptoms worse. Let’s chat about ways to reduce stress, get out of the ‘pandemic freeze response’ and increase our self-esteem.
Be Mindful of Everyday Stress
Want to hear something shocking? All stress is not necessarily bad! There are times when stress can motivate you to get things done, like when you need to escape a dangerous situation. But the thing is, constant stress can rewire our brains and bodies to stay in this fight or flight process, which can have consequences for your health and worsen chronic conditions.
This is why maintaining a consistent movement and/or yoga practice can be so important. In fact, trauma experts have recommended yoga to those in recovery for years now to help change their response to everyday stress.
If you find yourself too stressed at home to even practice, your home may very well be the problem. You may need to reduce stress by getting rid of clutter, taking time to clean, and letting in a little fresh air. These changes will do wonders for your emotional well-being and give you the boost you need to maintain your yoga practice.
