Take Charge Of Stress

People feel stressed when too much is going on to comfortably deal with or they feel a sense of anxiety/danger. The key to stress management is creating a sense that you are on top of things and that it’s okay to relax. What are some good ways to get started dealing with stress?

Commit to lowering your stress. Decide that this is a priority and you’re going to do it.
Start small. Stress management programs can be useful, but it is also good to start out small and simple. Find a way to include relaxing or pleasurable activities in your day. Even if you’re busy, you have time for brief “vacations” from stress, 30 or even 5 minutes periodically during the day.
Decide to give time, money, and thought to your well-being. If your car broke down, you’d fix it even if you’re on a tight budget. Decide how much time and money you’ll commit to activities that work for you, whether it’s going out for dinner, getting bodywork, sorting out what causes you stress, or exercising.
Mindfulness, paying attention to the here-and-now, can help to plunge you out of stress responding and more deeply into yourself. The practice of mindfulness can help you deal with physical and mental expressions of anxiety and overload. Having a rhythm between rest and activity can decrease feelings of overload, and brief periods of mindfulness during the day can help to restore this rhythm. In the end, you may accomplish more if you rest or relax.
Stress reduction comes when you feel relaxation, pleasure. If you feel pleasure or relaxation, you’re doing something right.

Meet Chef Zion! “I am a dedicated culinary student with a deep love for farm to table cuisine. I love to forage, commune with my friends and neighbors, and celebrate life through the exchange of culture and love.

“My culinary journey began by creating low-cost meals for my siblings as our parents worked to provide for us. Paired with a love, an ancestral connection to farming, and several years in restaurants and cafe management, my cooking style emerges at the brilliant intersection between farming and culinary exploration. I am honored to offer farm fresh and nutritious lunch and meal prep services to the Ruscombe and Coldspring community.
