How to Quickly De-Stress

Stress when ignored will build in your body. It will affect your performance, health and often your relationships.

Most people are stressed and ignore it. They ignore the tell-tale pain in their shoulders and in their neck which is the number one place stress is stored. Stress continues to grow and be stored in your body creating physical ailments that aren't meant to be ignored. Rather they are a warning sign for you.

How you store your stress becomes a pattern in your body. Ignoring how to deal with stress is also a pattern. Stress IS NOT meant to be stored in your body. If you're storing it, it means that you're not dealing with it and it's growing.

Stress has to be addressed and energetically cleared from your body.

Where do you store your stress in your body?

Is it in your neck, shoulders, chest or stomach? These are the most common places I find people storing it.

Where is your stress? Where do you physically feel tension and tightness?

How do you release the stress you're holding in your body?

Most people don’t. I usually get a no head shake when I ask this question.

Typicaly stress is held until something else happens and you explode at some trivial thing that shouldn’t have had that response. This only releases a tiny bit of stress - of the pressure you're holding physically and energetically. 

How often do you think you should release the stress you’re carrying?

Once a month, once a week, every day?

The answer is actually throughout the day as needed. 

Ideally, you don't pick the stress up and store it in your body at all. This means you don't let it in. Most people don't know how to do this, this is something I teach my clients to do. I would love your goal to be to reduce stress throughout the day.

Stress is a negative energy.

Every person has a place they put theirs and it’s probably where your parents put their stress in their body. How do you parents handle stress? How similar are you to their patterns? 

There is no benefit to you for carrying stress in your body. Overtime, it actually affects your health, mindset, energy and relationships. Let’s dive in and find out how you’re storing stress, how to clear it and I’ll give you an energy clearing meditation to release your stress.

1 - What are you storing?

What is your stress? Where does your stress come from? 

You want to know what stress you’re storing and why. 

• Is it from work? Is it from a specific relationship? Is it a financial stress that has an easy solution but your pattern is to stress out? I ask this one because I had a client do this last week.
• Stress can be a pattern. It can be what you do when everything is going well. Or what you do when things start to fall apart. 
• Stress is also being in stressful situations and not knowing how to work through it or even that it can be worked through.

• Sometimes you carry specific types of stress for decades. These are the hardest stressors for you to look at. It feels old and heavy just because it’s been with you so long. But this is just as easy to release as stress you picked up at work on Monday.
• Sometimes we carry stress for others like family, friends and team members at work. This is a big problem. Imagine someone is carrying around all their stress in a backpack. They may share some of the weight with you, but then they walk away and want to take their backpack with them. All of it. When this happens, you are carrying some of their weight plus yours and whoever else you’re “helping” 

You don't have to know what the stress is at first but overtime, you do want to pay atttention so that you stop carrying it and taking it on.

Get into a pattern that has an immediate response to stress which is - let it go!

2 - How to clear it:

Stress is a lower vibrational energy. Think about it being opposite of abundance and ranking as a negative energy like fear. It shows up in your body as a gray or black energy. 

• You want to notice where you feel your stress or how you see it. Notice where it is in your body.
• Then you want to let it go. You do this by finding the roots and pulling the energy out like smoke or like a weed. And you want to pull out every little piece. Get it all out of your body.
• Finally, you’re going to refill with positive energy otherwise you keep putting more negativity in there. Your body will store certain stress in certain parts as a pattern unless you change the pattern. You are going to refill with positive energy.
