Hey yo!
It’s been a minute since I’ve written a post!
Livingbreely had 2 wonderful guest posts from other bloggers in the wellness and meditation community. You can check out those posts here and here!
Honestly, collaborating with other women is probably my favorite part of running a blog. I truly believe that women work best when it’s a communal effort. When she has – a tribe – of other women supporting her and each other!
(Are you interested in writing a guest post? – please shoot us an email to [email protected])
While I took 2 weeks away from writing my own content, I was busy creating NEW content for you!
If you’re part of my newsletters then you know that I’ve been busy creating courses. (4 to be exact!)
One of them is MindfulnessU Stress Mastermind course which walks you step-by-step on how to utilize mindfulness to stress less. It’s available for $11 and you can read about here!
I’m also starting a 21-Day Mindset Shift where we dive in deep to the stories you tell yourself and your own mindset and how they are holding you back from really reaching for what you want out of life. It begins May 28th, so if you’re interested, you can enroll here.
It’s only $21 dollars (literally, a dollar a day!) and I give you 21 strategizes to make actual progress with your mindset.
Probably my favorite course I created (ok, they are all kind of my favorite!) was the 5 Mindset Mistakes You’re Making That Are Stressing You Out!
It’s a FREE course that is designed to help you become aware of the mindset mistakes we make and how they can multiply our stress!
Read my post on defining your mindset you can check it out here and how it can’t hold you back from accomplishing your goals.
The FREE course has the following lessons:
Defining stress (Why we have stress in the first place)
Lack of self-adequacy (MAJOR KEY!)
Impermanence (new word alert!)
Reaction (Reaction = action)
Power Off (How technology and social media can influence our stress and mindset!)
Catch Some Z’s (Yes! Sleep is a mindset!)
It also comes with a downloadable workbook that pairs with each of the lessons. These worksheets were created to help you comprehend the information in the lesson and also get reflective about your own stress!
So why did I decided to make a course about stress?
I’ve talked about my own journey with a stress burnout in my newsletter so here a little bit of my background and why I feel so qualified to discuss stress and help other women overcome it!
Not too long ago I was work 16 hours days. I was coming into the office on the weekends. I needed a few glasses of wine to put me to sleep. I was eating a super crappy diet. I didn’t work out. I invited the wrong kind of relationships into my life. I was also secretly dealing with an anxiety disorder.
Soon enough, my body gave out and I was put on bed rest for 2 months and given a listen of prescriptions that I would have to be on indefinitely.
This didn’t work for me.
Like at all.
My doctor’s orders were to “stress less”
Literally – that was it.
Okay dude, thanks for the help! *insert dramatic eye roll here!*
The only advice I took from my doctor was the ‘rest’ part and that was mainly because I was too fatigued to do anything else.
Over those 2 months, I became my own advocate for ‘stressing less’
I dived into a mindfulness practice, I started meditating, I began to reevaluate my diet and exercises. I created morning and evening routines and a WHOLE LOT MORE.
Although my recovery went on for a lot longer than those 2 months. It took me several years to learn some of the things that I share in my courses. It was a lot of trial and error. (Read: tears, coconut oil in uncomfortable places, and temper tantrums)
But it really began to take form when I started shifting my mindset, when I stopped TRYING to stress less but rather, redefine my relationship with stress.
Simply telling myself “don’t stress out” or “stress less” over and over in my head (and sometimes out loud) was not cutting it. If anything – it felt borderline psychotic.
Stress is inevitable – you cannot escape it. But what we can do is make the conscious choice to engage in GOOD stress or switch our perspective over the things that we cannot change.
Fun fact: Our bodies actually need stress, like a car needs oil.

How wonderful that you recovered and found new way to think and act with stress anxiety. I have dealt with anxiety and panic disorder for decades. I remember feeling like I’d lost my mind and probably (and probably a couple of Drs. too)! Our country even world needs to bring mental health into the 21st century so it can be seen for what it is and treated better faster.
I agree! I really think in how our society is set up…it really impacts people’s mental health.
Great idea sharing your knowledge as someone who has recovered you have a lot to offer others.
This is such a great post and I am glad that you are sharing this important information with us.
This is such a great post. Have you looked into the Growth Mindset at all? There are some very similar things between your post and that theory. I love the Growth Mindset, you should look into it.
I love your post and the part when you make sure people know stress is part of life, we just need to learn skills to manage it better.
Yes! I totally agree. How we cope and deal with stress is KEY 🔑
This is a great reminder! Stress can affect our lives in such a hard way! I’m glad you’ve found ways to ease it!
Totally agree! Stress is difficult but definitely manageable
Wow! That’s an incredible deal for your 21-Day Mindset Shift program. Not dealing with stress is so dangerous to your physical and mental health.
I like the idea of a course about stress. I think we all go through so much stress in our lives it’s nice to have guidance at time. The course is a really great offer too.
Thank you for sharing your story/experience. Many people will find this post very helpful (including myself).
I like what you’re doing here. Having a mental illness and being on SSRI’s for three years that didn’t really do much for me is what led me to mindfulness practice and meditation. I think its a wonderful thing for you to help other women in this area of their lives. The world itself is full of stress and stressors but we can alleviate that unnecessary stress through mindfulness and meditation. I’m really glad I found your blog! I’m bookmarking this for future reference:)
Thanks so much Michelle! I’m glad you found mindfulness and meditation helpful. Sending you all my love ✨💕
Awesome idea to share your insight on stress and mindfulness! I am going to have to save this and look into this after my vacation! Stress is awful!
I totally agree! Let me know how you enjoy the course! Have a great vacation 💕✨
I can’t wait to check out this free course, I really need to work on getting the right mind set – thanks!
Yessss! Let me know how it goes! Would love to hear your feedback. 💕✨
The right mindset is key indeed! I’m gonna check out the course by all mean!
Thanks girl! I hope you enjoy the course!!! 💕✨
Oh my! Stress is such a BIG factor in your ability to be effective in your work and personal life. Stress can also cause so many health problems too! This is such a big deal and I can definitely see the importance!
Yes! It can really wreck havoc on your body for sure.
I can always tell the difference when I’m not eating right because I’m too busy. It makes me feel so grumpy and tired, which just makes the stress worse!
Yesss! Totally agree! diet plays such a huge role in our mindset. Definitely something we miss.
Hi. I came across your site and you definitely strike a cord of where I’m at. I’m wondering if you are a wife and/or a working mother? I mean no disrespect in asking I’m just noticing so many of similar inspirational blogs are by people who have the extra time to devote to this type of self care. As a wife, and more so a working mom, self care and slowing down is a whole different struggle. Do have any colleagues that you’d recommend?
Hi A,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience as a wife and a working mom. I am not a wife or a mother but I deeply empathize with the challenges that occur when trying to create more time for self-care and slowing down.
My good friend Jennifer from https://www.helpmamameditate.com/ is a great resource for moms who are looking to live more mindful lives.
She is the next guest on my podcast, Change Your Mindset Change Your Life, where she talks about how after giving birth to her second daughter, she realized that she needed to make meditation a daily practice. You can follow the podcast here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/change-your-mindset-change-your-life/id1425481942
Her episode will go up on Monday 8/20/2018.
Hope that helps!
