We tend to take the time to get to know someone new in depth and learn everything we can about them. Why haven't we done the same for ourselves. It's the longest relationship we have and that one is more important especially understanding our mental health. 

As you go in for a doctors appointment they will ask about how your stress levels have been and you tend to cover it up or say something that doesn't relate with the truth or you are highly stressed and say as much as possible to let it all out. (I've definitely cried in the doctors room). It's definitely fine to let your stress out because its unhealthy to keep it in. However, a lot of us avoid the feeling and try and suppress it. Thats when it come back to bite you on the butt. 

As a female you need to get yourself familiar with the word stress. 

There is so many areas of a female that we panic, worry and become concerned about. Especially with our self confidence, period cycles and sex. 

Want to delve into these a bit further... take a look at a FREE Ebook about stress. Find the details at the end of the blog. 

Across all areas we definitely worry about every little detail on the daily and we tend to out lash out on people or food. 

Now when we communicate with people this can go badly or real bad super quick. We tend to communicate words that have been piling up that we don't even know why they are come up. Then we react even more because we realise that we did something bad but don't want to take accountability for our behaviour so we up level and reach for the sky until the rockets have defused. Trust me I have learnt this by looking back on my past behaviours and there was a lot of unnecessary anger being projected onto people just because I was stressed about something that I was unaware of or had no idea what to do, especially around female areas. 

In order for us to reduce our stress we need to reflect and have those awkward conversations to take the accountability. It will serve us better on managing our stress levels.
