When You’re Stressed

In her latest book, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of the Human Experience, five-time #1 New York Times best-selling author Brene Brown writes:

 

“We feel stressed when we evaluate environmental demand as beyond our ability to cope successfully. This includes elements of unpredictability, uncontrollability, and feeling overloaded.”

 

Consider these questions:

 

How does your body tell you that something feels too much?

How does your body tell you that something feels too soon?

How does your body tell you that something feels too fast?

How does your body let you know that you are pushing yourself past capacity?

What prevents you from listening to your body?

What feels unpredictable in your life?

What feels uncontrollable in your life?

When do you feel overloaded?

When you’re stressed, how can you actively close the stress cycle?

 

I highly recommend Brown’s book… you can order a copy here:

When it comes to podcasting, the best way to “tip the bartender” is by heading over to Apple Podcasts and leaving a 5-star review. This helps me imbibe other listeners with the secret sauce of emotional intelligence. And, make sure to “order another round”  by hitting SUBSCRIBE.
