Coaching with KC

The last way to close the stress cycle is through creative expression. Doing so leads to more energy, excitement, and increases enthusiasm. This is because creative expression ENCOURAGES big emotions. It also has a way of allowing us to MOVE through big emotions.

Think about the last time you were at a wedding, and that romantic song played moving you to tears, or to a state of awe at the love you were watching in front of you. Or on the flip side, how that go-to song after a breakup just has a way of making you feel everything you were feeling in that moment and move through it. Creative expression has a way of creating space for and allowing us to feel the things we aren’t allowing ourselves to feel. Writing, drawing, singing, listening to music, and so many other options all allow us to express that emotion. In turn, releasing our cortisol and closing our stress cycle.

While the number of ways to close the stress cycle are endless, I hope this series has been beneficial by bringing more awareness to what the stress cycle is. I also hope it is has helped to empower you in closing your own cycle and taking control of that component of your healthy.

The unfortunate reality is that most of us are conditioned not to close the cycle when we are stressed. Rather, we avoid or try to fix the stressor. While this often helps our rational mind, our physical body remains in a constant state of stress - which over time leads to burnout.

Knowing these tools, I hope you can start to FEEL the difference when you are closing your cycle leading to a more fulfilling and free life. Wellness is having the freedom to move through the cycles of being human. This happens when your body is in a place of safety and it requires action.
