This week we're talking about that pesky stress that seems to find us no matter what we do. You've had those days where it feels like 18 different things are hitting you at once. But it's the little things that pile up and make you want to lose your shit. Like when you can't seem to open a mayonnaise jar and end up throwing it across the room because 43-year-old men should be able to open a fucking jar. We've all been there, am I right? Zach has been under a lot of stress lately. But, he's been putting all the tips we talk about on the show into practice and has been able to keep his cool. When he feels like he's about to pop, he takes a break, lays down, and breathes. And let's be real, the last thing we need is for him to end up in jail for flipping the fuck out. So, join us this week as we talk about our experiences with stress and share strategies for managing it in our everyday lives. Because ain't nobody got time to be in fight or flight all the damn time. Key Takeaways:
1. Let go of trying to control things that are beyond our control.
2. Get to know yourself and have coping mechanisms in place such as breathing exercises, physical activities, and hobbies.
3. Imagining yourself doing an activity can be just as effective as actually doing it.
4. Having a supportive community to turn to can be incredibly helpful in managing stress and sharing thoughts and feelings.
