Day Eleven - Stress

Stress is a trigger.  It makes us stop our exercise routine, eat unhealthy things, and want to just go under a blanket and forget about it all. These are the opposite of what we should be doing.  Exercise, eating a balanced diet and talking about our day reduces stress and makes it easier to get through a rough week. Many things can set us off, such as being at a job you hate, responsibility for another person, or just a messy house.   Here are some common stress Triggers. We sometimes forget that we need to put ourselves first. We need to do this so we can focus on the others we are responsible for with a clear mind, so we can get through the day without feeling massively overwhelmed, and so we can feel fulfilled in our lives.   I think that is what this 21 day cleanse is all about. It's putting you first!  I for one feel more clear minded and like I'm going to go into my next semester of nursing more balanced.
So, set yourself up for success and go into each day putting yourself first.  I promise it will make your stressful life seem more manageable.  Here are eight ways to lower your stress.

Stay Strong,
Emily
