Today’s blog is about my own experience with stress this year
Over the last few months I had seen a decline in my own health, in particular, my mental state. I wasn’t sleeping well, I’d lost my appetite and I had trouble focusing on completing tasks. I would try to sit down and work on things I needed to do but the minute I sat down my mind would race with a million different thoughts and I wasn’t able to focus on any one thing
I was also an emotional mess. Sometimes I would cry over stupid little things while other times, I was easily irritated or agitated
Distress or negative stress can be financial stress, work place or business stress or relationship stress. It can also come from being unhappy with the way we look and feel or having expectations of ourselves that don’t go to plan
In my own experience, I had a number of the above happen to me. This was then coupled with the fact that I wasn’t sleeping properly. I would feel exhausted all day but then would end up lying awake for hours and then when I did fall asleep, it was broken sleep. I wasn’t eating correctly or drinking enough water due to my lack of appetite and I wasn’t getting enough sunlight being indoors for most of the day. I was also training 5 times/week and had been in a calorie deficit for the majority of 16 weeks up about her own experience with stress and giving us a great understanding on how to deal with our own stresses.
