Managing Your Mind and Body for Optimal Performance
Do you feel at times that your life is overloaded and you can’t manage the stress of trying to balance everyday work and home commitments, whilst still trying to stay fit and healthy and have some time out for yourself? 47% of Australians report being extremely stressed. A scarier finding is that emotional stress was more predictive of death from cancer than cardiovascular disease from smoking. It is up to us as individuals then to take control of stress in our lives by managing our response to stress and building support mechanisms.
Stress turns to distress when you start to feel a lack of control over your life and feel you lack the resources to cope. This can lead to exhaustion, tension and illness.
Unfortunately exercise is one of the first things to go out the window when we feel stressed and time poor. You can build up your defences against stress and improve your emotional, physical and mental wellbeing this winter, by prioritising & committing to your trek training sessions and other physical activity, no matter what happens in your day.
You CAN control the way you react to stressors in your environment. You have a choice EVERY day, in EVERY moment as to how you will react to situations and stressors that present themselves. The best way to manage stress is to build up defences. Exercise has been proven to be a major stress reliever. It encourages you to BREATHE more, to release feel good endorphins and to take on new challenges. Feeling part of a community and sharing experiences with like minded women, also gives us a purpose in life. At Wild Women on Top we strive to provide you with a program that gives you all of these opportunities to feel good and reduce stress in your life. So take care this winter & feel good about taking on the every day challenges that come your way!Lisa Marshall, Director & Coach
