“To experience peace does not mean that your life is always blissful. It means that you are capable of tapping into a blissful state of mind amidst the normal chaos of a hectic life.” ~Jill Botte Taylor
I know all the advice all over the internet and books and videos can feel overwhelming when it comes to managing your mental health.
“Do this to feel less stressed.”
“Try this hack to stay productive.”
“Don’t forget these habits or you’re doing it wrong.”
It’s a lot, right? And so darn confusing
The truth is, stress management doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need a 10-step morning routine or to overhaul your entire life to feel balanced and grounded.
It’s about small, intentional actions that actually fit into your life, not anyone else’s. It’s about choosing what actually works for you without all the extra fuss.
That’s why I created this simplified strategy for managing stress in 2025. A way to approach your well-being without the pressure to get it perfect.
Because when you let go of the need to control everything, that’s when peace starts to find you.
Simplified Stress Management Guide for 2025
- Start your day with an intention – A 5-minute morning ritual to set the tone for the day with gratitude, breath-work or journaling. Why? Because a calm start helps you handle the unexpected.
- Set non-negotiable boundaries – Say NO to what drains you and YES to what fuels you. Eg. take out an hour a day to unplug from all screens.
- Practice the 3-minute Rest – Pause for 3 minutes when stress spikes up. Use deep breathing or a short walk to reset and regulate your nervous system.
- Simplify your to-do list – Focus on just 3 priority tasks each day. Stop glorifying busyness and start embracing efficiency.
- Rest is earned and essential – Listen to your body when its asking for rest. Prioritize activities that genuinely recharge you whether that’s a nap, a walk, reading calmly.
- Use this affirmation – ‘Today I will not stress over the things I cannot control‘
Keep these strategies close, and if you’re ready to dive deeper into creating calm in your life, reach out to me and let’s get you started on your Healing Journey.
Remember that this is not a set of instructions, just a guideline for you to start incorporating habits that will help you on your journey to a life where chronic stress is no longer a thing you have to deal with! Let me know which ones resonate. I’m just a chill gal who wants to help you manage stress in a way that doesn’t feel stressful 🙂
