Chronic stress and anxiety lead to unhealthy symptoms and can be the pre-curser to various diseases down the road. Stress management is important. If you feel anxious or stressed in certain situations, take deep cleansing breaths. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth to get some fresh oxygen into your system during those high stress moments so it doesn’t pile up. Each situation should be evaluated keeping the big picture in mind to help monitor what is a big stress and what you can let roll off your back. In addition, avoid other kinds of chronic stress by taking care of your body and being smart with training. Incorporate rest days into your routine to make sure the body has time to repair itself. The gains from working out come from rest post wods, not during.
