How To Cope During Stressful Times
These are a quick list of some strategies to help you cope during stressful times (Listen to the full episode of the podcast):

1. Practice deep abdominal breathing - keeps your brain sharp and focused in the present moment when job stress steals your breath away.
2. Set Your intentions for the day – an intention represents a commitment to carrying out an action in the future – which helps with reducing stress.
3. Focus on Mindfulness - Regular and sustained mindfulness practice has been shown to improve attentional control, increase awareness of internal and external experiences and reduce stress.
4. Have a nighttime routine – your brain thrives on regularity so having a nighttime routine is crucial.
5. Embrace the Holistic Wealth Method – Think of all your decisions as either a depletion or addition to your holistic wealth bank account – and focus on activities that enrich you.
6. Regular exercise and healthy eating – exercise such as brisk walking re-calibrates a fatigued brain and reduces your risk of developing anxiety by almost 60%.
7. Get Connected with Loved Ones – Getting connected with friends and loved ones reduces loneliness and stress.
8. Positive Self-Talk - can stop catastrophic mind chatter that causes work stress and keep you calm in stressful situations.
9. Find Your Purpose (Your Why) – Remember your “why” and embrace your mission and purpose (refocus and re-energize).
