Managing Stress and Sleep in Times of Chaos

We are turning the corner on the pandemic, whereas the world is opening up to reconnect in person- safely. Yet the world is in turmoil as we process the war in Ukraine. We are certainly in the midst of continued trying times. 
 
2021 served to be a challenging year, personally. My urticaria and angioedema had me numerous times in and out of the ER. In addition, having a health issue that swells your face and stimulates full body hives is challenging to navigate when working in the public arena. It was a hard lesson to pause and focus on my health and inner peace, first and foremost. Unfortunately, however, there is no "cure" for my health issues (which was brought on by the use of cosmetic fillers/ wrinkle reducers). To learn more, please refer to my blog post, How Fighting Ageism Led to a Trip to the ER.
 
During this time, I found myself retreating inwards, unable to work, feeling constant fatigue and brain fog, not wanting to be on social media or talk to friends. Sleep was also an issue. Up at 3 am (Cortisol levels spiking), my mind was racing, only to wake up exhausted and repeat all over again.

So, I went back to "school" to learn new ways to manage what I COULD control: My stress levels and habits to improve my sleep hygiene. 
 
I am pleased to share that now I hold TWO certifications: in Stress Management and Sleep Science (NESTA). 
 
My personal challenges motivated me to create TWO new programs to serve others.

There is a surge of stress and burnout in Noth America. As mentioned, from pandemic stress to the war of Ukraine, let alone stress from our own lives. 
 
The pace of the crisis in Ukraine has created a brain-tangling complexity for anyone trying to understand what is going on. Now doomscrolling is back in ways not seen since the beginning of the Covid pandemic.
Mental health experts are warning that public engagement comes with a cost in terms of anxiety that should not be ignored. Paul Salkovskis, professor of clinical psychology at the University of Oxford, who worked on measures to help people deal with Covid-related anxiety, said: "Clearly there are some people who are already anxious, who will be significantly more anxious, as happened with Covid – we saw a big increase in some subtypes of anxiety in the clinic. There will be some of that with this situation, but I don't think it's going to be the dominant response."
