Today, before you make a choice to numb your stress with an unhealthy substance or behavior, please ask yourself, “How is this going to be productive in navigating this situation?” “What other action could I take to bring me peace in this situation?” “Who can I talk to about my feelings?”
One hour at a time. Baby steps.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of quick fixes when stress hits, but they rarely offer lasting relief.
These questions give you time to “Pause” which is a practical approach to making the healthiest decision for yourself.
Taking it step by step keeps things from feeling too overwhelming.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
