The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | How to Break the Chronic Stress Cycle

Ep #75: How to Break the Chronic Stress Cycle

July 19, 2023

This week, we’re talking about stress. This subject is the essential core of what I do with clients, and having lived myself with chronic stress for many years, I have an important message to share: you do not have to live with chronic stress and anxiety. 

You might think you just have to live with it because you’ve been doing it for so long. We normalize chronic stress. However, having trouble falling asleep, worrying all the time, and overthinking what’s coming or what’s happened in the past doesn’t have to be your normal. We think our hypervigilance, insomnia, and anxiety are just something we have to deal with. But the truth is, it isn’t normal.

Tune in this week to discover the signs of chronic stress, the effect it’s having on your body, and how to say enough is enough. I’m sharing what contributed to my own chronic stress, and I’m showing you why, no matter how normal your stress and anxiety seems, you can live without it.
