59. Stress Overload and Finding Ways to Lighten the Load

Published: July 27, 2022, 9 a.m.

How well are you carrying your load?\xa0

If you are feeling like things are overflowing in the stress department, you will want to join me in this solo episode inspired by this quote of Lou Holtz...

"It\u2019s Not The Load That Breaks You Down, It\u2019s The Way You Carry It"


What do you think of when you read that quote?

It certainly hits home for how my life has been feeling lately so today we are talking about a few things!

First I dive into why I am in the middle of an IG break and what I have learned from doing it (hint...part of it has to do with how well I was NOT carrying my load).

Then I dive deep into why your stress feels different all the time.\xa0 You know how some days you are on top of the world and other days your fuse is so short it's dangerous for people to be around you?

It is something you should know about called your window of tolerance!

You can expect to learn:

  • Stress vs Stressor
  • Hypoarousal vs Hyperarousal nervous system responses
  • The concept of allostasis, allostatic load and allostatic overload and why knowing this will make your life easier\xa0
  • Letting go of shame when you feel dysregulated
  • The window of tolerance and what affects it so you do or do not tolerate stressors from one day to the next
  • Practices to improve resilience (and what resilience means when it comes to stress)
  • What is really keeping stressed out

And you will get to hear about a brand new solo episode series diving into the types of thoughts that keep you stressed and stuck!

So, so , so\xa0 grateful to be back finally on a solo episode with you! Don't forget I love to hear what you think! Tag me in on IG @loren.runion or send me a DM and let me know.

Love what you hear?\xa0
