In our last post, we shared how to address stress in the moment.
But there are things you can do to help prepare you to deal with stress ahead of time.
- Sleep - this is a big one (at least 6-7 hours, dark, quiet, cool room)
- Start your morning calmly (no phone or social media, no rushing, wake up a little early so you don’t panic and get your nervous system fired up)
- Drink plenty of water first thing in the morning (you’re likely dehydrated while you sleep)
- Exercise (your nervous system is more active during exercise but over time this helps your body and mind become more resilient to stressors)
- Whole Foods (our bodies like whole food because we can digest them properly and they have the nutrients our body needs)
- Have a plan for common triggers
- If you know certain situations, people or events trigger your stress either avoid them or change how you think about them.
- Journalling, meditation, stretching, exercise
- if you have the time for any of these, do them
Learning to adapt to stress is a skill and you have control over how you react to stressful events.
