So, You just NEVER get stressed?

A few times this week, I've had this conversation.

People are interested to know what I'm doing but when I tell them, their immediate reaction is to say something along the lines of:

"So you just never get stressed then?"

Whaaaaaat?!?!!? No I didn't say that.

And it dawned on me that people think what I do, what I'm about, is never being stressed; totally getting rid of stress. 

Living in the clouds and wistfully floating around in the world all happy and stress free and annoying.

Not true.

Getting rid of stress is not really an option. Living in the clouds - as much as I'd like to - isn't an option either.

Stress, fast paced lifestyles and set backs are part of life. We need stress to keep us alive.

'Stress' in the form of fear keeps me going! If it wasn't for fear I wouldn't feel like I was doing what I was supposed to be doing. 


I certainly GET STRESSED!

"Stress" or more specifically the Fight and Flight response, is a vital human survival mechanism and without it we would die - simple. But in todays world the Fight and Flight response and the sympathetic nervous system are in a constant state of 'on'. 

And its that 'on' state that makes it really hard for us to switch off and relax and feel like we can cope with all of life challenges. So when something comes along which is quite scary - like an exam you really need to pass - your ability to cope with the stress it creates is unbearable.


So what I do ? What I'm really passionate about:

I teach young people to calm their sympathetic nervous system (stress response) through pranayama, (breathing), yoga movements and EFT, so that you can deal with stress and be more resilient to stressful situations.

Helping you deal with life's challenges.

Helping you to be able to cope better with stress. 

Which in turn helps:

Change your perceptions.

Gets you to think differently. Be happier. More in control. More confident. 

Be amazing. Making a difference in the world. Doing what you love - which in turn lights up the world.

That.

Its not about living a stress free life, (like, who can actually do that?!) it's about learning how to deal with stress and worry, effectively and mindfully so that life's stress or humps in the road don't drag you down, control your life and make you hide away, just like I did. 

Yoga and EFT have helped create massive changes in my life and helped me learn to deal with daily stresses. 

And believe me - I have a 4 year old, money worries, I worry about if I'm good enough, if what I'm working on and towards will be any good, will it all just fail? 

Every time I press 'publish' I get a wave of annoying doubt; "will anyone read it this time? What will-so and-so think?" 

But I learned vital tools and techniques which help me deal with these emotions and thoughts. 

And ALL I wish is that I'd learned how to do that earlier in my life! So thats why I love helping young women like you, learn these tools and techniques, so you don't hide away and let stress, worry and fear keep you small, stuck and hidden.

Its not a quick fix and it can't be done just once. It takes commitment and determination to change. 

Taking care of your emotional well-being during your adolescent years is crucial to avoid mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety disorders, and physical health challenges such as IBS, Headaches, inflammation and other stress related illness in your adulthood.

Prevention is better than the cure ;)
