"I learned to listen to my body and recognise the built-up stress I had in me"

This is a quest that looks so simple but is full of gems. Practical tips to release stress, build resilience and feel exactly a sense of bliss. During the quest, I did experience a lot of stressful situations where I chose to apply lots of the tools I had learned and navigate these rough waters far more effectively. I was stressed so much before. I learned to listen to my body and recognise the built-up stress I had in me. My jaws were always so tight. As I was in the quest, I could feel my jaws relaxing and my body letting go. I'm so blessed to have those tools to help me through every day. Yes, things will happen... but I have my bliss response now and not my stress response.
