So with Training, School, running an Organization, and then maintaining friendships, relationships, and so on-- sometimes it feels like the sky is falling. While I know this isn't the reality, and that in 1, 5, 10 years none of the things I'm stressing about will matter-- it's hard to take that step back to gain perspective when you're IN it/ living it right in that moment. Stress is real, and it affects all aspects of life: Sleep, Relationships, School, Overall Health, etc.
Managing Stress & Anxiety has always been a struggle for me, and there is a very stark difference in my quality of life when my Stress/Anxiety is under control v. when it's not. In an effort to take a more deliberate approach to managing my stress (for the sake of #gainz, and just overall life quality) I've started taking the regular practice of Meditation more seriously. I'm currently doing 10 minutes of guided meditation a day-- will include my thoughts/impressions of the benefits/effects (if any) I notice through my practice.
