1041: How Do You Respond to Stress? This is How to Improve Distress Tolerance and Stress
In today's episode, Gina discusses how to improve your distress tolerance and become more resilient in the face of stress and anxiety. The episode includes a valuable journaling exercise to help you understand your responses to stress and identify areas for improvement. By learning to respond to stress with greater competence, you can overcome anxiety and lead a healthier, more balanced life. Gina categorizes different types of anxiety and stress responses as escape artists, distractors, or solvers, emphasizing the significant impact of how we handle stress on our overall success and well-being.
Listeners are encouraged to seek solutions to stressors rather than temporary relief, as tolerating anxious feelings and distress is crucial for effective stress management. The episode highlights the importance of building resilience and inner security to navigate challenges healthily. Additionally, stress is discussed as a potential motivator for positive change and growth, provided it does not escalate into distress. Gina underscores the role of self-compassion in expanding one's capacity to handle difficult emotions and sensations. Practical journaling prompts help identify areas of control, resilience, and self-compassion in stress responses. The episode concludes with a Maya Angelou quote on resilience, reminding listeners of their power to choose their responses to life's events.
