It doesn't matter who you are; you have experienced stress. The stress cycle is: Stressful event Fight or Flight Your stress symptoms start appearing If you do not know how to manage your stress, you feel sad, tired, and overwhelmed However, if we learn what will help our stress, we can break the cycle, or as some people say, "complete it." What causes you stress Understand what happens to your emotions and body Learn ways to manage stress One person's way of dealing with stress might not be the same for another person. Therefore, test out different methods and activities until you find that works for you. Think about what activities make you happy or help to turn off your brain.

Tell me truthfully, do you stretch? Not just before or after a workout, but in general, do you incorporate any type of stretching into your day?⁣ ⁣ If you aren’t now, I’m going to share with you 5 ways stretching can benefit your life beyond just being able to touch your toes (although that’s a good one😊).⁣ ⁣ We’ll start with my favorite pose, Malasana (Garland pose), because it’s particularly helpful to those with tight hips from cycling or running 🙌🏼 Holding this pose for 30 seconds each day can help you:⁣ ⁣ 1. Strengthen your lower back.⁣ ⁣ 2. Tone the abdominal muscles.⁣ ⁣ 3. Improve colon function to help with elimination.⁣ ⁣ 4. Open the hips and stretches the groin, hamstrings, ankles & back. ⁣ ⁣ 5. Release anxious or negative energy.⁣ ⁣ I can’t say it enough, the recovery is just as important as the work. Our bodies & minds need to stretch, repair, & recover in order to grow. ⁣ ⁣ Give this pose a try, start with 10 seconds and work your way up to a minute and see how your body responds! ⁣ ⁣ What’s your favorite stretch or pose to release stress & tension in your body?⁣ ⁣ 🧘🏻‍♀️⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #fitmomstrongmom #fitmomgoals #fitmoms #strongmomma #momswhoworkout #fitmomof3 #motherhoodunplugged #newmom #newmommylife #workoutformom #mommasgotgoals #postpartumbody #postpartumfitness #momlifeisthebestlife #toddlermomlife ⁣#tiredmoms #realmotherhood #targetislife #momstress #girlmomlife #girlmomsrock #mommingsohard #busymomgetsfit #workingonmyfitness #fitmomjourney #lifewithtoddlers #momvibes #momswithgoals #realstagram (at Westlake, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLYHZgtpEsO/?igshid=11bazon4syhar

How do you reset? ✨ I like to use a combination of skincare & selfcare inside and out to give my body everything it needs to unwind and relax. Lately I’ve been loving the natural stress support supplements from @GetR3SET paired with a soak in my favorite @CopperRootCollective Lavender Butterfly bath salts. I was so excited when CRC reached out to me - they create a variety of handmade luxuries and 100% of the proceeds help fund wells & clean water in Zambia ☁️ These R3SET supplements are available online and in store at @Target and seem to have helped a lot so far in dealing with the stresses of being a stay-at-home mom during the pandemic. The little color-coordinated capsules are super cute and easy to swallow and I love to follow the recommended breathing ritual that comes with each bottle as an added step in my routine 🌿 . *all products gifted, non-affiliate . #ontheglow #GetR3SET #herR3SET #ambr3set #targetstress #flatlay #ambcollab #momstress #bathsalts #stressrelief #beautywithbenefits #stresssupport #stressmanagement #copperrootcollective #targetbeauty (at Copper Root Collective) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4oMg7srzi/?igshid=9nqcmbl99v5s

Does your relationship with your partner or ex suck? Is your teenager angry, defiant, depressed or out of control? Could the 2 be related. Of course they could be. Teenagers blame themselves for parent turmoil and when parents get divorced the shift from blaming themselves to focus long on the divorced parents. Why because they blame you for blowing up the family. If you are not divorced that is what they fear and will start behaving badly. Why? Because they are hoping that you start communicating with each other to solve a bigger problem than your relationship..which is a troubled teenager. They want type to focus on their problem and not yours. So if you are struggling with a teenager. Check in and see how your relationship is with your co-parent. If it sucks start focusing on fixing that before sending them off to military school. Do the hard work instead of looking for the easy button and you can start taking those first steps on becoming more connected wit your teenager. If you have an idiot for a co-parent that makes your life even harder who needs to change? That is a trick question because you can’t control others to change. Their ego will be the downfall of your child and put them on a path that is going nowhere except maybe prison or rehab.🤪 Before I forget I have a free class that I teach 3 skills of my struggle free parenting system for teens that you can use today to help yourself and your teenager move forward.

Sex, Motherhood, and the MRSA Motel

As Trip and I are coming up on our 15th wedding anniversary, I am reminded of my 10th anniversary. We had just welcomed Kennedy into our family a mere 7 weeks earlier and I was exhilarated and exhausted all at the same time.

After three stressful weeks in New Jersey waiting for the OK to come home, we had finally settled into somewhat of a routine when we got back to Maryland. Like most new mothers, I was up with Kennedy every 3-4 hours, but I was also still working a minimum of 5-6 hours a day. As a freelancer, there’s no such thing as “maternity leave.”  I was even going into one of my client’s offices a couple of times a week.

Our 10th anniversary coincided with a baby shower my sister-in-law planned for us up in Erie. Trip and I took advantage and arrived a day early—on our anniversary.

My mother graciously offered to watch Kennedy so we could go out to dinner and celebrate. It was our first time alone since Kennedy had been born and we jumped at the opportunity.

After cocktails then wine (oh, and dinner), we headed back to my mom’s happy, tipsy, and a bit, um, well, horny. After all, I had been in NJ for three weeks with Kennedy while Trip was back in Maryland. Then 1-2 days after I got home, Trip headed for a week-long hunting vacation. When he got back, Kennedy was sleeping in a bassinet next to the bed and I was exhausted all... the... time. Needless to say, the weeks had stacked up and something had to give.

On a whim, I pointed out a little travel motel less than a mile from my mother’s house and told Trip to pull in. He was stunned but game, but only if I was the one to go ask for the room.

I gladly jumped out of the car and went to the front desk. As I stood there in my black leather leggings, Vera Wang heels, and Chanel-ish long jacket, I asked the clerk for a room. He looked me square in the eye and said, “All the cheap rooms are taken.”

I don’t know what I was more offended by. That he thought I was a hooker, or that he thought I was a cheap one!

I said, “Excuse me? The higher priced room is fine.” So, $90 (yes, the non-cheap room was $90) and a great laugh later, we walked into the “expensive room” and gasped.

It was awful, bordering on disgusting.

I refused to go anywhere near the bed and the bathroom was unmentionable. At the risk of sharing too much, let’s just say I simply removed my shoes and as little else as possible and refused to sit or lay down on anything.

But the shoes, as it turns out, was a bad idea. I had an ingrown nail and apparently the carpet wasn’t so safe either.

Five days later, I was back in MD and in the hospital. With MRSA. I had a fever of 103 and my blood pressure was 45/60. Bad.

I was in the hospital for three days and actually got the sleep and rest I clearly needed. In fact, the doctors said that my stress was so acute that my immune system was shot, leaving me wide open for MRSA to set in.

I came home with a new understanding that I had to not only take better care of myself, but that romance as a parent needed an overhaul as well. Trip started helping with nighttime feedings and I made a point to go back to sleep for at least 1-2 hours in the AM. I also started running again to help with the stress.

On the romance side, Trip and I started having lunch together occasionally and going out for date nights 1-2 times a month. We also realized the benefit of a guest room :)

Ultimately what the experience taught me was that motherhood does change your sex life, but you don’t have to resort to the MRSA motel to find romance. You can build in the romance every day.

The face you make when all the moms you know have their kids in the same class and you don't. #boychildscoolthough #backtoschool #momlife #momstress #kidsdontcare #anotheryear #grade2drama

[coachrichiepryor]

Put down your phone. Stop preparing dinner. Close your laptop. Shut off the tv. Stop folding the laundry. Stop doing everything when your child is in your presence. See them, hear them and be present with them. That is the recipe to become a connected parent. A child that is connected to a parent will always share with you their fears and challenges because they know you will have their back and never judge them. It is never too late to start and if you have a disconnected teenager now would be a good time to get that connection back. First thing to do is apologize to them for not being there for them and ask them what you can do to be a better parent.❤️ be honest and come from the heart and welcome them back into your parenting sphere of influence. 👩‍❤️‍👨 because it is never too late until is is😢 #teenagedrama #singlemom #divorcedparents #parentingteensishard #parentingteenagers #coparentingproblems #momofateen #coparentinggoals #divorcedparentsproblems #parentingteens #coparentinglife #momofteens #parentsofteens #momstress #stressedparents #coparentinggoals #supportingmoms #momsupport #divorcedmom #momwithteens #parentingsupport #parentsofteenagers #coparentingwithanarcissist #beingamomishard #momstruggles #coparentingtips #divorcedparentsproblems #divorcedmoms #divorcedmomlife #coparentingwithanarcissist #dramafreeparenting #raisingteensishard #controllingrelationship (at Plymouth, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hSwwvlKpw/?igshid=11zmuu9u3rn6f
