#124 - Closing the Stress Cycle

I recently read a book by twin sisters, Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski, called Burnout. The tagline is intriguing: The Secret To Unlocking The Stress Cycle.

Everyone has both stress and stressors. Those won't ever go away as long as we are alive. What is important is not what comes at us, but how we deal with these stresses.

According to the authors, we want to complete the stress cycle. There's no reason to have unneeded stress (and all the physiological changes it brings) for any longer than necessary. To break free, you need to "close the stress cycle."

Here are some ways to complete your stress cycle:

1. Talk about it

2. Engage in Physical Activity

3. Make a Plan

4. Remember the Future

5. Sing or Praise
