It feels like we are all dealing with more stress today than we were only 5 years ago. And why wouldn’t you? And even though we are more connected through social apps and Zoom meetings, people feel more lonely than ever before.
Money problems, health problems, family dynamics, environmental disasters, and the business of the holiday season that’s upon us…all this leads to stress, loneliness, and depression.
That’s why we’ve brought on Andrew Dewar and Catherine Collins, two coaches from FiveYearYou.com, to talk (and walk) us through this mind junk and touch on the serious issues surrounding depression.
We discuss:
- How to identify when you’re about to be stressed
- How to deal with stress
- How to do “Box Breathing” [29:51]
- External forces that create stress
- The things that make us feel lonely
- Cortisone’s impact on clinical depression
