Stress is horrible for your health. It leads to increase risked of diabetes, irritable bowl syndrome, heart disease, anxiety and depression. With that being said it is critical to manage stress in order to avoid adverse effects. In this episode I discuss 5 steps on how you can better manage your stress:

1. Identify your stressors- becoming aware of your triggers will allow you to develop strategies to deal with them
2. Control what you can- we only have control over so much so do what you can and let go of the rest
3. Talk about it- when something is out of your control talking about it may not solve the problem but it can help you feel better about it
4. Take care of yourself- we often neglect ourselves when we get stressed, it's important to be self aware of your negative tendencies and practice self-care to combat it
5. Reframe your mindset- sometimes stress can be a good motivator, also it's important to maintain perspective and not let little things spiral into big things

Make sure to come back next week for an episode full of ideas on how you can begin to aleviate your stress immediately and for the long term.
