6 types of stress (which one are you feeling?)
Do you remember Whac-A-Mole? 

You know, the arcade game where a mole keeps popping up in unpredictable spots and it’s your job to smack it on the head?

Well, that’s kind of like how stress works. 

Except you are the mole … and when stress gets out of control, every time you make a move, it keeps bopping YOU on the head.

This is why it’s SO IMPORTANT to have a plan to manage stress before it manages you. 

Because when stress is in control, not only do YOU feel out of control, but it’s tough to reach your goals. It can affect your sleep, your appetite, your relationships, and so much more!

I came across this list of 6 different kinds of stress a while ago and thought it was eye-opening. 

Since most of us deal with more than one kind of stress at a time, you can see how it really adds up to take a toll on your health!
  1. Physical stress: bad night of sleep, being sick, or hungry
  2. Mental stress: rough day at work, too many decisions to make, overwhelmed
  3. Emotional stress: feeling guilty, grief, anger, hate, frustration
  4. Social stress: disagreements with others, feeling lonely, etc.
  5. Existential stress: feeling hopeless, wondering what it all means, etc.
  6. Environmental stress: loud noises, unsafe surroundings, hot or cold temperatures, stuck in traffic, etc.
Creating a lifestyle that helps you prevent and manage those stresses will help you become more resilient – and can stop stress from getting in the way of your health.

PLUS: the same steps that help you manage stress will also move you CLOSER to your health goals.

That means finding ways to:
  • Get enough sleep
  • Move your body during the day
  • Eat a healthy diet 
  • Practice stress management techniques that work with you (meditation, prayer, journaling, yoga, breathing exercises, etc.)
Make time for YOU today! You deserve it.

Meet Colleen Riddle

 
I spent much of my life trying to figure out where I fit.

Growing up as the youngest of six, so much younger than my brothers and sisters, I was always just ‘little Colleen’ — tagging along, in the room but not really part of the conversation. My opinion didn’t carry much weight when everyone older had already decided. It wasn’t unkind — it was just the math of being the baby of a big family. But somewhere in all that tagging along, I started believing that belonging was something you had to earn, or wait for, or hope someone remembered to include you in.

That feeling followed me into adulthood more than I realized. Through different seasons of life, careers, challenges, and reinventions, I kept chasing the same thing: a place where my voice actually mattered.

It took years of personal growth to understand how deeply that search had shaped me — and to realize that the thing I’d been looking for my whole life was exactly what I was meant to help others find.
