Make sure to infuse some fun into your week. Even if it’s as simple as a quick walk on the beach or sitting outside with a favorite book.
Chronic unresolved stress can make us sick, gain weight, lead to diabetes, and many other problems.
Stress management is a key health secret of centenarians (people who live to 100 or more).
Here are some tips to help relieve stress:
If you can’t change it, don’t worry about it. You can’t always control a situation but you can control your reaction to it.
Focus on solutions, not problems. After a problem comes up, focus on finding a solution in order to gain a sense of control.
Redirect negative thoughts. As soon as a negative thought creeps in, think of a really happy place for you and focus on that scene.
Relax and take a deep breath. Taking a couple of quick breaks during the day to get in a few deep breaths will help your body lower the level of circulating stress hormones.
Move to mellow out. Exercise increases those feel good endorphins and has a wonderful calming effect.
I really enjoyed doing the Best Body Countdown Challenge! All of the meals were so good and very easy to prepare. I especially loved how the recipes were all laid out for us in a clear, concise manner with complete grocery lists, which made everything a snap from beginning to end.
Also, I loved how there was so much support from Sohailla via Zoom meetings, email, text, and Facebook. She really stayed connected. It was also good to connect with the other participants as well for inspiration and encouragement.
My family and I enjoyed the meals and we plan to continue with the Best Body Meal plan going forward as part of our daily lives.
I lost 8 lbs and an inch and a half off my hips and waist. I feel so inspired to keep going until I reach my goal weight.
This is the best program I’ve ever participated in and I would highly recommend this to everyone!
Amazing instructors who make you feel welcome and go the extra mile to teach you. The other students are great to work with, and I learned a lot in my first two sessions.
Experienced a huge increase in fitness and confidence from martial arts and strengthening classes. Super flexible schedule, cannot recommend highly enough.
