How to Kickstart an Upward Spiral: Overcoming Stress and Embracing Joy

The Extraordinary Everyday

Imagine kicking off a new day, week, or year with a rejuvenated sense of joy and balance, completely free from stress and burnout. But how do you jumpstart this positive energy cycle when you find yourself stuck in a downward spiral? As a certified life coach, I, Wendy Johnson, guide you through a journey of resetting and recharging in this episode of the Extraordinary Everyday podcast, focusing on mindfulness, joy, and pleasure.
We delve into recognizing our triggers and numbing behaviors, like emotional eating or endless hours of TV, which often amplify our negative emotions. But don't despair, there's a way out. I introduce you to simple yet effective strategies to kickstart your upward spiral. By cultivating mindfulness, you can ground yourself in the present, slowing down your nervous system. Learn to listen to your deeper breaths and body signals when your energy state is low. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of prioritizing joy and pleasure as a break from your routine, whether that’s through a quick dance break, a walk, or tuning into uplifting music. This episode is all about steering your life towards an upward spiral of positivity, so let's embark on this journey together.
