3 Healthy Mindful Actions to Share Emotions and Lower Stress
The experiences we refer to as emotions can carry us away like a turbulent wave created by a weather system in the ocean. They can create a sentiment within us that is so overpowering that words cannot describe them.
Emotions give us power and yet they can lead us to self-destruct. There are three questions one can ask. Do we really know or understand how emotions work? Can we describe how they occur? How can we maintain health and wellbeing when they are active?
In today’s “Stress Talk” with Marcyline, we are going to share “3 healthy mindful actions to share emotions and lower stress.”

Guided Meditation to Relieve Feelings of Anger and Resentment
Mindfulness meditation is a powerful practice that enables strength, stability, and clarity of mind. This centuries old practice has many forms and definitions. Mindfulness can be described as learning to bring our attention to the present moment by focusing on our breath and seeing what arises without judgment.
We are living in a stress filled world. Everywhere we turn, we are bombarded with words and images of anger, distrust, and dissension. This is occurring in our homes, in the workplace, and in schools. A simple visit to the store may expose you to the anger and resentment of others. You may feel the same anger and resentment. People are impatient. They are angry and taking their anger out on anyone in their path.
A mindfulness lifestyle is one in which you can bounce back or manage the difficulties and difficult feelings. This is called resilience. You live in balance can manage your emotions in a healthy manner
In today’s “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline we are going to share a guided “Mindfulness Meditation practice to relieve feelings of Anger and Resentment.”

How to Practice Mindfulness of the Breath
Breathing is something we do without thinking about it, yet it's essential to being alive. When we intentionally pay attention to our breath, we can tap into a powerful tool. Mindfulness of the breath simply means focusing on the sensations of each inhalation and exhalation. As we tune into our breath in a gentle way, we may feel calmer, clearer, and more present.
Bringing awareness to this automatic function can strengthen our connection to ourselves and ground us in a meaningful way.

3 Focused Steps to Find Emotional Calm and Stability Amidst the Storm
Do you sometimes feel as if you are being carried away by waves of emotions? What does that look like exactly? When cruise ships encounter active waves and choppy waters, the captain may caution the passengers to be careful while navigating the ship.
If you have ever been on a cruise when the ship navigated into rough waters, you probably had to hold on to steady yourself as you walked. The ship probably rocked side to side or left to right. Your stomach may have turned upside down.
You settled yourself by sitting or holding on. What do you do when emotions crash?

Good Better Best: the Comparisons that Cause Anxiety, Depression and Stress
We are born into a world of comparisons. One of the first comparisons is found in the question “who does the baby look like? Then there are the comparison statements. “The baby has hair just like her mother when she was a baby.” “He has his father’s eyes.”
Comparisons do not stop there. We are taught to observe, analyze, and measure our worth based on how we perceive others. “You should be more like your sister.” “I wish you could sing like your brother.” “Your friend is such a good student, why don’t you study a lot like her?”
When we spend time comparing ourselves to others, we fill space with hurtful thoughts, feelings and beliefs that lead to anxiety, depression, and stress.
In this episode of “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we are going to talk about and propose healthy responses to “Good, Better, Best, the Comparisons that Cause Anxiety, Depression and Stress.”

Unlock Peace and Calm: Manage Overwhelming Stress with 5 Mind-Body Actions
How quickly do you recover when a car cuts you off while driving? How long does it take you to let go of the feelings you have after a contentious encounter? When was the last time you really let go and let God?
Each time we are faced with a situation that is uncomfortable, frightening, or difficult, we go into fight or flight mode. The stress response, as it is called, starts no matter how small or large the incident. As a result, a surge of adrenalin, cortisol and other stress hormones are released into the bloodstream.
Over time, repeated, long term exposure to these hormones can cause harm to the body’s functions.

3 Under-the-Radar Self-Care Practices that Abolish Overwhelming Stress
Overwhelming stress is caused by a stress response that does not let up. Stress hormones are constantly pumped into the body keeping us in “fight or flight” mode. This puts a strain on the body and leads to illness and chronic health conditions.
“Super” women, because of their roles and responsibilities, may ignore the signs and symptoms of overwhelming stress. This can cause them to reach burnout. There are a number of sustainable self-care practices that can help.
In this episode of “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, I am sharing “3 Under-the-Radar Self-Care Practices that Abolish Overwhelming Stress.”

3 Best Reasons for Women to Emotionally Declutter
When we think about clutter, we think about messy, piles of stuff. What picture pops into your mind?
A linen closet? Your garage? Your grandmother’s house that stores 90 years of living?
Clutter stops us from using and enjoying the space for its intended purpose.
Now think about the unhealthy emotions that someone carries.
These emotions influence core beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
They amount to unhealthy clutter that prevents people from realizing life visions.

How Stressed Women Get the Most from a New Stress Management Plan
If we don't plan, we have a harder time reaching the goals we set. The same is true for a stress management plan. For the past month, we have spent a great deal of time developing SMART goals targeting overwhelming stress. Your goal is only as effective as the actions you take to reach it.
In this episode of Stress Talk with Marcyline, I will review 3 components that are vital to reaching your goal.
3 Reliable Ways to Supercharge Your Stress Management Plan
Like with many things we do in life, we develop a worthy goal. We go a step farther by thinking about what should come next. Planning is good. Execution is better. What will you do to reach your goal? Your stress management goal will do nothing to lower your stress levels until you outline a clear set of steps to follow.
Now that you have a SMART goal to lower your stress levels, you need an action plan to guide you to that goal. An action plan is a series of sequential steps that move you from your starting point to your destination.
Over the past several weeks, I shared a strategic process to help you develop your goal statement.
