Ever feel the stress in your body? Welcome to the club! ;) A club Iād rather not be in, but I am here, so here we are. ;)Ā Ā
Ā
This by no means is an exhaustive list of ways to help, but I thought I would bring this subject around again on the show because so many of us are feeling the stress of life in our bodies. And I don't want to be a āvictimā of that stress and have been on a journey to really learn how to care for myself in this. Itās been quite the process, but soo worth it!Ā
Ā
I mention "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk, a phenomenal book that triggered me the whole way through. But it taught me so much about why my body was feeling it and ākeeping score.ā
Ā
I hope this episode blesses you.
