Season 2, Episode 2: Cut out the Work Stress: Tips for Working moms (Part 2)
Welcome to the Empowered Working Mom Revolution Podcast, where we're on a mission to help incredible working moms like you find that ideal work-life balance. I'm Jocelyn Auyeung, your host and certified life coach, here to guide you on a journey to a life filled with joy, fun, and fulfillment.
In today's episode, we're diving into the second part of our series on cutting out work stress tips for working moms. If you missed Part 1, be sure to check it out. We'll explore three personalized tips for responding to work stress because there's no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to handling stress.
But before we dive in, remember the power of pause. Taking a moment to pause allows you to break free from the cycle of reactive behavior and regain control. It's a simple yet powerful tool you can use universally in any situation.
Now, let's get into the tips.
Tip #1: Move that physical feeling of stress through and out of your body. When stress lingers in your body, it can lead to burnout and physical symptoms. Ask yourself, "How can I release this physical stress?" Some options include working out, taking a long shower, journaling, or talking to a trusted friend. Experiment and find what works best for you.
Tip #2: Clear your mind for clarity. When stressed, our minds can become cluttered with overwhelming thoughts. Instead of resisting or forcing them away, try challenging and reframing your thoughts. Ask, "How true is this thought?" Another approach is to allow your thoughts to pass through like clouds in the sky. Remember, it's about observing without judgment.
Tip #3: Prioritize what's truly important. After moving the stress out of your body and clearing your mind, you can think clearly. Now, ask yourself: What's genuinely important in this moment? Consider completion levels, control, and practice self-compassion for any unfinished tasks.
To put these tips into action, ask yourself: What does it look like to practice these tips in my daily life? Which tip resonates with me the most, and how can I experiment with it?
