I know I don’t handle stress well because I get migraines when the stress begins to life…both physical stress and mental stress. I keep swearing I am going to work on that…I need more prayer and meditation time. Facials and massage sound good too! I am lucky I am in a happy marriage for over 30 years…he is a stress reliever (LOL…well about 90% of the time…the other 10% is stress)! Thanks for an important post.

This is such great advice. People don’t realize their bodies actually need more rest during transition and stress. But, people tend to “push on” and end up getting sick. Holistic treatments are so beneficial to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. And a mani and a pedi always help!! Thanks for the reminder to take a break.

I remember oh so well the stress around getting married, wedding planning, combining households (even though it’s been many years!) I didn’t know as much about self-care and stress then as I do know. I’m so much better at recognizing that fight or flight response and knowing that it’s often a result of stress (versus a real physical danger, like a bear)!
