Good things about stress:

A little stress is normal.

A little stress helps us focus on the issue.

Bad things about stress:

We worry way too much.

We compensate for stress in ways that are not healthy.

To overcome stress do you…

1. Overeat
2. Smoke
3. Use drugs or alcohol ?

That’s when stress is harmful to you and your baby.

Here are 5 good things to try instead:

1. Talk to someone will listen, someone who is upbeat and positive
2. Focus on taking slow deep breaths
3. Take a 20 minute walk
4. Pray
5. You don’t have to have your whole life figured out today. Take one day at a time.

Repeat this:

Your situation is NEVER as bad as you think it is.

The best decisions are made from hope.

HOPE.
