Challenge Tips

This has been a timely and much welcomed opportunity to reflect and reassess some decisions already made and some I've been considering. We are hard-wired to be aware of threats and stressors and respond to them - that ingrained "fight, flight, freeze" response.  Without some conscious effort to reset the stress levels and work in the time to rest and recharge - that stress, in whatever form it comes, will definitely take it's toll.  I hope everyone participating in the challenge has had a chance to appreciate some of the positives in life and will make an effort to carve out micro-breaks or larger breaks for themselves and their own self care. That's definitely my intention moving forward. Above all, I'm also intending to make sure to appreciate and celebrate the things in life that matter most. - family & friends, good health and living life today to the best that I am able.
