Stress is everywhere. We encounter it everyday. You can’t realistically escape it, but what makes you think you should? Likely has something to do with how it makes you feel or how you respond…

That is where you have the power. Understanding the behaviors you practice in an attempt to maintain your sense of safety, love and belonging shines a light on how you behave when you feel the most vulnerable.

We can’t escape stress, BUT we can grow within ourselves. Take time and highlight the experiences that are familiar in your life when it comes to how you handle stress.
