As much as we like to keep busy, like a badge of honor we wear, it begins to wear on us harder. The busyness creates a patter that we assume we must keep up with. Eventually, we are caught in the webs of stress.

Ready, Set, A.I.M. 5-Day Challenge How to create happy habits for lasting change.

Stress begins to eat away at your health, sleep, peace, marriage, your job performance, your sanity. It begins to eat away at you.

Stress has a profound impact on you physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Some of those effects are:

• headaches
• fatigue
• tummy aches
• anxiety
• anger
• depression
• binge eating
• drug/alcohol/tobacco use or overuse
• lack of clarity
• confusion
• restlessness.

Plus a continued life of stress can lead to serious health problems like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, and more.

However, there might be a short season in your life that requires you to be overworked and underpaid. And your simple survival tool is "this too shall pass".

Now that doesn't bring a lot of comfort; but think back to cramming for an exam, finishing that paper, or putting the final touches on your wedding day. Let it go, taking it one moment at a time.

But when you're talking about day to day chaos, an environment that breeds only frustration and anxiety, when your outlook is only as hopeful as the sleep medication give rest --- that's a sure sign you need to look at how to reduce stress.

You need an intervention. Change needs to happen or life may get more complicated.

I don't want my story to be your life. So how to reduce stress. What are some ways you can be an overcomer of stress?

The K.I.S.S. ~ Relax to zap the stress!

1. Meditation - self reflection, serene, calmness.
2. Deep breathing - in the nose, out through the mouth.
3. Laugh and smile - laughing lowers your body's stress hormone, cortisol.
4. M & M's - Movement and Motivation (Exercise-walk, run, bike ride, etc.)
5. Good food equals good mood - Eat God-made, not man-made.
6. Reach Out (and touch someone) - talk to others. Join us in Women of IMPACT.
7. Body awareness - nose to toes know how your body responds to stress.
8. Live out gratitude - be grateful, remember the good in your life.
9. Be present - Focus on your senses to release the tenses.
