"I Feel Bad About My Stress."

Welcome, welcome, welcome back to Beyond Balance!

The listener question that inspired this episode, "I Feel Bad About My Stress" –

"How do I  unwind "freezing" and/or "flight" as coping mechanisms? I can’t stop scrolling /Netflix at night. It’s like I’m afraid to go asleep. Worse bc I know all the tools but don’t use them and can’t break this habit of a negative coping mechanism. Feel guilt and shame because I know how damaging all of this is and I can’t shake it. "

This episode is for you if   –

• You too have ever found yourself looking up from the black rabbit hole of scrolling wondering "why did I even pick up my phone in the first place? 🙄"; 
• You too want to feel a little less bad about all the shame / shoulds / guilt that only add to our stress; 
• You want a 3-second practice you can start using right now, to start feeling better about your stress and stress coping mechanisms 🙃.

(Sorry, no "magic 3-step makeovers to your best evening routine" here because they don't exist and if they did, they wouldn't work anyways 🤷🏼‍♀️)

Have a friend who could feel less bad about their stress too? Please pass along this episode!
