What is stress and why is it something that can wreak havoc on your health and happiness? I’m joined by April Likins, a stress management coach helping you to understand what stress is, how it shows up for you and how to step out of stress so you can live healthier and happier - which is what we are all about at Live Healthy Now! In a world that is so busy for most of us, it’s easy to miss the signs of stress, and to shrug off the impact it can have on you. This is the perfect conversation to recognise International Stress Awareness Week, so take a listen and check-in with yourself on how stress might be showing up for you and how to start taking steps to manage it in the best way possible and avoid burnout. In the episode you’ll learn: What stress is and how to spot signs in yourself. The difference between good and bad stress. The danger of wearing busyness as a badge of honour. Why there’s a global rise of burnout, what it is and how to avoid. Tools to respond to stress in a more controlled way. The value of listening to your body more. Setting healthy boundaries to work in a sustainable way. The power of knowing you can control your life and happiness.
