Stress is a part of all of our lives - but living in a constant state of stress doesn't have to be.Join Bonnie Poirier, Hypnotherapist, for a special gathering in recognition of Stress Awareness Day.
We'll take some time to slow down, breathe, and explore what stress is doing to our bodies, minds, and overall sense of wellbeing.
During this time, we'll explore:
- What stress really is - and why our body's stress response is actually designed to protect us.
- Eustress vs. distress - understanding the difference between the stress that can motivate and energize us and the stress that can become overwhelming or harmful when it continues for too long.
- How stress affects the body and mind - including tension, sleep, mood, concentration, energy, and our ability to relax.
- Recognizing the signs of chronic stress - learning to listen when our bodies and minds are telling us that we need to pause.
- Simple stress-management techniques - practical tools you can begin using right away, including breathing, relaxation, mindful pauses, movement, and creating moments of quiet.
- The power of the pause - learning how something as simple as Stop. Breathe. Choose. can help us respond to stress rather than automatically react to it.
- How hypnotherapy can support stress management - exploring how therapeutic hypnosis can help calm the mind, encourage relaxation, change unhelpful patterns, and develop healthier responses to life's challenges.
And we'll take a few peaceful moments together to simply breathe and reset.
You don't have to wait until you're overwhelmed. Stress is not a personal failure. Our stress response is a natural part of being human. But we can learn to recognize it, understand it, and develop healthier ways of responding.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed right now or simply want to learn more about caring for your mind, body, and spirit, I invite you to join me.
Bring your questions. Bring yourself exactly as you are and give yourself permission to pause for a little while.
Wednesday, November 4 at 3:00 PM Central - Focus Massage and Wellness - 413 N New Hampshire in downtown Covington right next door to the trailhead. The cost is $25 payable by cash, check, or Venmo.
