Some highlights from the episode:
Background: This has been a crazy year. Stress levels for a lot of people are higher than normal due to COVID-19 lifestyle changes, civil unrest, and future uncertainty.
Deep Breathing: Regularly practicing deep breathing and meditation is a fantastic way to calm your body and center your mind.
Stretching: Similar to breathing, stretching gives you a chance to put your mind into your muscles and focus on something other than what’s causing you stress.
Workout Hard: A good workout will promote more breathing and give you a natural boost in feel good hormones, while decreasing hormones that give you anxiety.
Better Sleep: One of your most powerful tools for reducing chronic stress and inflammation in your body is getting good quality sleep, and the occasional nap.
Control Expenses: Money isn’t everything, but without money you can sure feel limited in a lot of ways. Focus on controlling your expenses so that they don’t control you.
Gratitude: Focus on the things in your life you do have, instead of all the things that you don’t have.
Your Control: Focus on things in life that you can control, instead of all the things that are beyond your control.
Plan Ahead: Frequent procrastination is a great way to introduce unnecessary stress in your life.
Long Term: Avoid the temptation to think short term. Think long term about living the life that will bring you the most joy and fulfillment.
Learn Presence: Mastering the art of switching gears, to be present and enjoy moments, is one of the most important tools for a good life.
Nature Time: Nature has an amazing ability to center our mind and perspective in life.
I finish the episode with Tomko Tip #42 where I talk about being the best possible person you can be in these crazy times that we currently live in.
