149: Micro Stress Awareness: Take Control of Your Life, One Small Stressor at a Time

Stress is our body's natural reaction to change, and it occurs regularly in our daily lives. Additionally, while typical stress triggers an instinctive reaction from our bodies and minds, micro-stresses, also known as low level stress, are not even perceived by either.

These small individual stressors, such as constant meetings, deadline pressures, and the challenge of balancing work and life—may not seem overwhelming on their own. But, what you don’t know CAN hurt you! Join hosts Nola Boea and Lori Vajda as they teach you how to “tune in” to these subtle stressors so you can regain control of your well-being and improve your professional performance.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn 

• The surprising impact of 'micro-stresses' that go unnoticed
• Why low level stressors undermine your wellbeing
• Discover how those tiny 'micro-stresses' can add up and what you can do to reduce, minimize, even eliminate them

Key points Lori and Nola are sharing in this episode:

(01:59:05) Why you need to be aware of the microstresses that affect you on an individual level

(03:08:21) When we're unaware of our low level stressors, we're not able to identify why we feel the way we do or use the same stress management tools that we would for high levels of stress

(05:09:30) Awareness is the first step because, without awareness, you can't take action

(07:57:07) This is one way to identify the typical microstressors that have the greatest impact on you

(13:41:30) Focus on the what, who, and when microstressors appear so you know where and how in your body you experience them both physically and mentally
