1. Asses Your Stress
1. Asses Your StressStress, according to Wikipedia is the condition that results when person-environmental transactions lead the individual to perceive a discrepancy between the demands of a situation and the resources of a persons biological, psychological, or social systems.
Stress can come from many things. It can be your wellness, lack of sleep, a messy house, a to do list that is not getting done, your hubby, kids fighting or even just getting out of the house.
Over the next three days track your stress levels throughout the day. Chart your stress hourly and in point form to make note of what is causing you stress at different times of the day. This will help to better prepare you for the most stressful times. When you discover and understand your biggest stressors ahead of time it will help with the feelings of overwhelm.
I have attached this worksheet to help you pin point these high stress times during your day.

Remember to always strive for progress not perfection.
No one was made to be perfect. We are not perfect and that is ok!
Brene Brown says:
“Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact it is the thing that is really preventing us from taking flight.”
Let go of the idea of perfection and fly!
Having a good support system and ASKING for the HELP when things are getting difficult is a must.
