Ep #2: 4 Essential Habits to Reducing Stress: Observe Your Levels

In last week’s episode, we discussed the importance of hydration when it comes to basic self-care and managing your stress. And in part two of this HOME series, we’re discussing my second go-to habit for overthinkers: Observe Your Levels.

Observe Your Levels refers to two things: what you eat, and how much you sleep. And it sounds pretty basic, but you’d be surprised at how little discipline I see around these two categories. So many of us use food and sleep as if it were a warm blanket when we need some comfort. But when we are mindful in these areas especially, we can start using food and sleep to our advantage.

Lots of us throw out words like sad, anxious, depressed, without doing our HOME Work. Now, I’m not talking about clinical depression and conditions like that. But if you notice that you feel a slump at a similar time every day where your energy and your mood are low, observing your levels is going to be the key to overcoming this. And I’m showing you how on this episode of The OverThinker’s Guide to Joy.
