Spring Cleaning For Your Stress
Spring has arrived, and with it comes the ritual of spring cleaning.
But this year, we're not just talking about dusting off your shelves or clearing out your garage.
It's time to consider a deep clean for your stress levels.
This post will guide you through identifying your stressors, tackling them one at a time, and seeking support from your circle.
Let's embark on this journey towards becoming Unstressable.
How To Relieve Stress and Keep It Away This Spring
Effective stress relief requires a strategic approach.
Here’s how you can spring-clean your stress:
Identify Where Your Stress Is Coming From
Is it all the spring cleaning you need to get done?
Making plans for the kids when they’re out of school this summer?
High-interest rates and the financial pressures they’re still putting on us all?
All of the above?
Stress ebbs and flows and while most of us are used to having some stress in our lives, there are times when stressors will clash together and peak. We can handle the stress that we see coming and have built up resilience for but this is the dangerous realm of creeping towards burnout and having nothing left to give.
Before reaching this point, get clear on what’s causing you stress in the past, in the present, and in the future.
There’s only so much that we can control but bringing awareness to the various stressors is the first step to conquering the ill effects of stress once and for all. This is a part of the philosophy of becoming Unstressable.

Work On One Action At A Time
You’ve identified what’s most stressful in your life right now, now what do you do about it?
We need to handle stressors better because the reality is that most stressors are not going away anytime soon.
Don’t try to tackle it all at once though. We are all notoriously bad at thinking we can change everything in one fell swoop.
But with many things to manage and competing priorities, the only realistic way to spring clean our stress for lasting stress relief is one step, one action at a time.
You will stick to what you’ve committed to better without getting overwhelmed.
Get Your Friends On Board
Go fast with stress relief alone, or go far together.
Most of us need help and support for stress relief in our lives.
It might seem like a good idea to focus on eliminating stress on your own because you can hunker down and get straight to it.
But leveraging the power of your social circle for support can be even more effective. Not only can friends offer practical help and emotional support, but assisting them in turn can provide a sense of purpose and mutual relief from stress.
Your friends all have things they’re stressing about and by helping them you will help relieve yourself of social stress by rising up together.
