Are you someone who hardly ever does nice things for herself? Are you constantly on the go and under pressure? Do you often say bad things to yourself, about yourself? Do you rarely take action to reduce the stress in your life?

If you answered yes, yes, yes… Today, I want to support you to turn this around.

I don’t normally use scare tactics yet…

Here are some startling facts about stress that I hope will create a shift for you:

• Stress influences a lot of health conditions from headaches to cancer, insomnia to migraines.
• Stress causes us to feel irritable and rushed, which can have big consequences on our relationships.
• Long term stress affects our ability to make sound decisions, making it harder to feel accomplished and proud of ourselves.
• Heart disease is now one of the top killers of women. Stress is a big contributor to high blood pressure, heart palpitations, heart attacks and stroke.
• Stress and weight gain are intimately linked. Stress commonly causes us to over eat, eat fast foods, or eat emotionally.
• Under stress, we are less likely to engage in exercise.
• In response to stress, we are more likely to spend money to feel better… leading to buyers remorse and a hungry bank account.

It is more than worth it to take drastic measures to reduce our stress! Perhaps this includes a lifestyle change, a career change, a relationship change… I know that these measures can be scary. Yet, for me, it’s scarier to consider what may happen if I don’t.

From the bottom of my heart,

Susan
