#185: Life-Changing Boundaries That Cut My Stress and Transformed My Health!
While we often hear about meditation or exercise to reduce stress, I'm going outside the box here with something that's helped me dramatically - setting clever boundaries. By balancing my cortisol levels (stress hormone) in the ways I chat about in this episode, I’ve noticed improved sleep, greater energy, and I've even noticed huge changes in my physique. I’ll share how tuning into my own needs and setting strict boundaries have been key. From establishing tech-free times and social media detoxes to being selective with the people I surround myself, I’ve noticed a profound impact on my stress management and overall wellbeing. Join me as I reveal how small boundary-setting practices can lead to healthier cortisol levels and ultimately, a far healthier you. Whether it’s scheduling downtime or learning to say no, these tips can help you reclaim some of your peace in your busy life too!
