Are people more stressed than they used to be? Yes! Some of it has to do with awareness because of how much information we have access to. Naturally, we as humans are affected by our environment. Our stressors aren’t as obvious as they once were, i.e. email vs predator. Lauren asked about the difference between stress and anxiety. While stress hormones are necessary for survival, we’re really overloaded with them now. Keep in mind that stress differs whether it’s in your conscious or subconscious mind. It’s obvious that we can only truly examine our conscious mind and our body. These things are giving us clues all the time. On the bright side, we all have the same nervous system so we’re all going through these same sensations. As the conversation transitions to our relationship with money, Lea gives some tactical examples of things to look out for and ways to better your relationship with money. Start with a discrete place, like checking your credit card statement, and examine how you’re feeling. Keep in mind that your money stories, which may be adding to your stress, are not your fault. An interesting tip Lea gives is to watch Real Housewives or something like that and examine the feelings you have about their money. What’s the first action you should take? Recognize that your relationship with money starts with you. Learn to monitor how you feel about money. Lea closes by talking about how we define happiness and gives us another way to think about it.
