While we can’t eliminate all stressors from our lives, we can control our reactions to them. When you don’t understand the difference between your experience of stress and the external things that are causing it, you’re left feeling like life just happens to you. On the other hand, being able to separate external stressors from your reaction gives you power and control over your experience to make the changes you want.

 

Join me this week to hear how learning to distinguish between stress and stressors is the key to finally getting out of the burnout cycle. I’m showing you what stress is, why understanding your stressors matters, how they aren’t as dangerous as our brains think, and my top tips for beginning to harness the power you have over your internal response.
