Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of my first nonfiction book, Transforming Your Stress (When Life Feels Like a House Fire).
Within the first 48 hours of its release, my little stress book hit #1 on Amazon Hot New Releases TWICE.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is life still feels stressful.
My bestseller has a new cover and new look …
What do you think?
My Book is NOT about House Fires
House fires crash into our lives in a variety of ways: death, divorce, debt, disease – drama of some kind.
Here’s a key takeaway about stress that I didn’t know before our house fire in 2017:
Your Brain + Your Body = Your Nervous System
Your nervous system has over ONE BILLION nerve fibers. You’re like a walking, talking computer that records every moment of your life. Your nervous system remembers your joys, your heartaches and the tiniest moments in between.
Repeated enough over time, certain emotions and behaviors become stress patterns, even if you wish you didn’t do them or have them: overeating, overspending, perfectionism, procrastination, struggling to say NO, insomnia, anxiety, etc.
Your nervous system does NOT like change OF ANY KIND.
Have we experienced a few changes over our lifetime? Has change happened at warp speed in the last year-and-a-half?
