5 Stressors to Let Go of for a Happier, Healthier You (+ What to Focus on Instead)
Darling, let’s talk about stress. It sneaks in, drains our energy, and pulls us away from the joy, aliveness and pleasure we’re meant to experience. Stress is a form of leaking energy, and your precious life force deserves to be nurtured, not depleted. Let’s explore five common stressors that are ready to be released and replaced with something far more aligned, empowered, and freeing so you can soften into your feminine radiance, relax your nervous system and use your energy for creating your dream life.
1. The Opinions of Others
How often do we spiral over what someone else might think? This is so common as women, because we are culturally conditioned to care deeply about the harmony and goodness of our relationships—which is not always productive. Instead, turn that energy inward. What do YOU think? Your opinion is the one that matters most. Reclaim your power by listening to your inner voice.
2. People Pleasing
It’s time to flip the script on people-pleasing. Focusing on pouring into yourself is not selfish, its actually for the benefit of others. When you fill yourself up, you can give more love, presence and energy to others. Start with pleasing yourself first, who are you living for anyway? Fill your own cup until it overflows, and then give freely from that abundant space. You’ll find it feels so much better to give without needing anything in return.
3. Striving for Perfection
Perfection is a myth, a robotic illusion that strips away your humanity. We want to see and feel your humanity. Your imperfections are what make you unique, relatable, lovable, and real. Release the pressure and embrace your beautiful, messy humanity. We love you as you are.
4. Comparison
We’re all on unique journeys, and comparing yours to someone else’s only dims your light. Trust in divine timing while staying open to inspired action. Tune in to your inner rhythm, listen to that pulse, and take the aligned action when it feels inspired.
5. Being ‘Too Much’ or ‘Not Enough’
The fear of being “too much” often goes hand in hand with feeling “not enough.” But love, you are enough just as you are. You were made whole and complete. Be unapologetically yourself and let the world adjust.
Bonus: Let Go of What You Can’t Control
Worrying about the uncontrollable is an exhausting battle with no winner. Instead, focus on where you do have power—your mindset, actions, and intentions and release the rest to God, the Universe, etc.
What to Focus on Instead
Here’s the secret: when you release stress, you reclaim energy to channel into things that truly matter. Let’s redirect your focus toward:
🌹 Embracing your authentic self – The real you is magnetic. It’s about coming home to your truth.
🎨 Creating a life you adore – Follow what lights you up. Learn more on this on the blog: Your Turn-On is Your GPS.
🗣 Speaking your truth – Authenticity is liberating. When you speak your truth, everything else aligns to that.
🤗 Building self-love and acceptance – Everything starts with you: Why Self-Love Is the Most Important Relationship You’ll Ever Have.
💃 Relaxing into flow – Surrender to the dance of life. Trust that what is meant for you can’t miss you.
Conclusion
Stress is often an invitation to pause and re-center. By letting go of what drains you, you create space for more love, joy, and freedom in your life. Every time you release stress, you return to your power and reconnect with your essence. 💫
