“Stress is anything that makes your body work overtime.”
Nicole Porter
How do you define stress?
If you’re like most busy professionals, you define stress as financial pressure, tight deadlines, or a conflict at work or home.
You might also get stressed by slow traffic, slow wifi, or slow kids.
These are all legitimate stressors.
But you add stress to your body and mind in other ways too – and it’s sabotaging your health, mindset, and productivity – without you even knowing it.
It’s called Hidden Stress.
Today’s busy professional is sabotaging their health – without even knowing it.
What is Hidden Stress?
Hidden Stress is the unnecessary stress caused by The Top 10 Unhealthy Habits that busy professionals repeat every single day.
Because these overlooked habits are repeated daily, the associated stress accumulates in the cells, creating a burden of stress.
This chronic burden, also known as allostatic load, overstimulates the nervous system, imbalances hormones, and causes all bodily systems to work overtime, ultimately preventing optimal physical, mental and emotional health.
Unfortunately, you don’t know how much stress you’re under until you have symptoms.
Most busy professionals have at least 3 signs and symptoms of Hidden Stress.
The Signs and Symptoms of Hidden Stress
Since your body and brain are constantly forced to deal with the burden of Hidden Stress, they’re no longer able to prioritize your health, which means your health and wellness goals get put on the back burner.
This re-prioritization is the reason why Hidden Stress is directly related to: an inability to lose weight, low energy, unhealthy cravings, poor sleep, poor digestion, lack of focus, anxiety, pain and inflammation, skin conditions, poor memory, lack of motivation, an inability to manage stress, and more serious illness and disease.
Which habits are contributing to Hidden Stress?
Hidden Stress prevents optimal physical, mental, and emotional health.
The Top 10 Unhealthy Habits
The Top 10 Unhealthy Habits are the daily habits that busy professionals tend to repeat every single day. The common denominator of these habits is that each of them can, to some degree, add unnecessary stress to your body and brain, contributing to the burden of stress that’s keeping you from feeling your best.
Which ones can you relate to? Negative Mindset, Multitasking, Poor Breathing, Excessive Screen Time, Lack of Sleep, Poor Nutrition, Imbalanced Exercise Programs, Feeling a Lack of Control, Overthinking, and Lack of Social Connection.
Now, you might be thinking, “How can I manage TEN habits when I can’t even master ONE?”
Most busy professionals repeat at least 8 of the Top 10 Unhealthy Habits every single day.
