On this solo episode of The Chronic Athlete, I talk about stress.  And not how we normally think about stress as in our jobs, our relationships, our day to day responsibilities, but our perceived stress.  Perceived stress is stress that we place on ourselves--such as worrying about circumstances or outcomes that haven't happened, always jumping to worst case scenarios, and stewing in guilt, shame, or regret within our past.  Perceived stress is our reaction to our reality.  It is a pattern that we have developed over our lives and most of us walk around unaware of how much perceived stress we are putting on ourselves and how much it's impacting our health.  When we think of reducing stress, we think of self care, vacations, and setting boundaries for toxic relationships.  These are all good and pieces of reducing stress, but we also have to acknowledge the stress we implement on ourselves every day.Perceived stress stems from our thoughts.  Where our thoughts go, our energy flows.  What energy are you putting out into the universe?  If we are always jumping ahead to every way something can go wrong, we are placing our focus on finding all the ways that something did in fact, go wrong.  If we change our thoughts, we change our focus.  If we change our focus, we change our perspective.  If we change our perspective, we can change how we experience life.Take a screen shot of this episode & tag me @coachamyrae on Instagram.  To show my appreciation of your support, I would love to gift you with a free coffee/tea!
