In this special Shortcast, Jess Cording, author of The Little Book of Game Changers: 50 Healthy Habits for Managing Stress and Anxiety, shares practical strategies to manage stress and anxiety by making small, sustainable changes across mind, body, and spirit. Jess offers gentle, doable practices that go beyond willpower—emphasizing progress over perfection.


In this Shortcast, we explore:


  • Scheduling Worry Time: Rather than ignoring anxious thoughts or letting them spiral, Jess shares how setting aside designated “worry time” can help free up mental space and increase focus.

  • Finding Your Caffeine Sweet Spot: We discuss how caffeine affects productivity and stress, and how small swaps—like reducing serving size or switching to decaf—can restore balance without total deprivation.

  • Creating a Loneliness Game Plan: Jess highlights how identifying personal, enjoyable activities to do when loneliness hits can protect both mental health and productivity.

  • Mind, Body, and Spirit Alignment: The episode encourages a balanced approach to self-care, recognizing that managing stress isn’t about grand gestures but consistent, mindful tweaks to daily routines.

  • Sustainable Wellness: Jess’s tips focus on low-pressure, practical strategies that anyone can start implementing right away—even on a busy schedule.

Jess’s insights are a powerful reminder that small, intentional steps can help us manage anxiety and lead a more focused, grounded life.
