As we near the end of the season and head into to what many researchers refer to as the most stressful time of the year, it’s important to stay mindful of the stories we’re telling ourselves. Not just what we believe to be true, but more importantly how are we saying it. What words might you be using casually everyday that may be making it harder? How can you reframe the statement into a neutral or positive question to allow possibilities and release some of the emotional pressure?

A must read. The difference between stress and overwhelm and why it matters. Words matter for your well-being. Research-based insight:

As a recent adopter of resting in stillness and do-nothingness, I am excited to see this post! Also, word choices matter :-)

Stress and Overwhelm, know how you feel to overcome possible ill effects and be at peace. More you read more you are aware. #wellbeing #leadership #emotionalintelligence #SeevicesWithTechnology

Sharing Brene Brown’s explanation of the difference between stress and overwhelm. It is good and easy to understand explanation. And, I agree that it is important to understand and recognise the difference, especially as to determine the best course of action for recovery if/when needed. The step(s) to course correct can vary by individual, but a great “go to” for both is doing some deep breathing to help with slowing things down a bit. One of the key things I do in my stress and work/life balance coaching with business professionals is to co-develop a proactive stress management and prevention plan which is personalised to personal needs and interventions that work best for the individual. You can’t win a battle without having a plan, and this personalised proactive plan is esential to get the upper hand on stress management to help prevent reaching overwhelm and burnout. #stressmanagement #burnoutprevention

3 simple questions that transformed our family nights—forever. At dinner we go around the table and take turns answering the 3Gs: ? Give: How did you help someone today? ? Grow: In what ways did you improve over yesterday? ? Gratitude: What are you specifically grateful for today? 4 years later, this ritual remains a daily Mamujee practice. I came up with the 3Gs as a way to give my kids a daily compass. My kids have now internalized it. They write about it. Teach their friends. They even strategize what 3Gs they will apply tomorrow, which has been heart warming to see. Our WiFi network is even called “3Gs” for an added reminder when guests stay over. Our nightly practice has turned our dinners into sessions of growth, support, and a real appreciation for one another. It’s also a great way to hold each other accountable. Last week, a close friend gifted us the domain givegrowgratitude dot com. His message? "You should spread this to others." So here I am: Give. Grow. Gratitude. Give it a try. Share it with your family or team. Who will be bold enough to answer one of the 3Gs in the comments today?

Sharing quick tips for you all to read during these stressed and overwhelmed times. Thanks Brené Brown!

This is very insightful and perfectly descriptive.
