In times of uncertainty, both humans and animals experience heightened stress and confusion. The world around you may feel like it's constantly shifting, and it's crucial to take care of yourself and your furry companions. To navigate this stress let’s look at the different ways stress affects you and your pets.
You: Stress is the number one killer when it comes to heart disease and illnesses. The daily stress you may be dealing with can lead to heightened anxiety, making you feel unstable, irritable, having difficulty concentrating, and an overall sense of helplessness and low or ungrounded energy. This is why it's important to recognize these signs and take proactive steps to manage your stress.
Your Pets: Animals are highly sensitive to the changes in their environment and your emotions. This stress can cause them to become anxious, agitated, or exhibit behavioral changes such as increased clinginess or aggression. Your pet often picks up on your stress or energy imbalances and may try to comfort you, but they can also become stressed themselves.
So, knowing how stress affects you and your pet, how can you counteract this stress for both you and your pets? Let’s break it down into tips that will help you both.
Tips to Navigate Stress for You:
Practice Mindfulness by engaging in mindfulness practices such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga. These can help calm your mind and reduce stress levels by taking a few minutes each day to focus on the present moment and letting go of worries about the future.
Establish Routines by creating a daily routine that includes time for work, relaxation, and self-care. These routines provide a sense of stability and predictability helping you sleep better and have a healthy mindset and reliable levels of energy.
Limit Negative Influences by reducing time spent watching news or scrolling through social media, as these can increase anxiety and rob you of energy. Instead, surround yourself with positive influences and supportive people who uplift you.
Engage in Physical Activity with regular exercise that can help reduce stress and improve your mood such as walking, running, strength training, or dancing. Spending time outdoors in the fresh air and nature can help ease your anxiety.
Seek Support by talking with a friend, family member, energy medicine practitioner or a therapist. When you share your concerns, it can provide relief and give you a new perspective. You may even think about joining a support group or online communities where you can connect with others facing similar challenges.
Sessions of The Emotion Code® Chiron Releasing Programs can help you release trapped or absorbed emotions that can be hard to let go of. Clearing those old emotions lifts a weight off you that you no longer need to carry around with you, which then allows you to be freer and lighter. Be sure to consult with Carolyn Osborn to find out how The Emotion Code® can help you.
Tips to Navigate Stress for Your Pets:
Maintain Consistent Routines by keeping your pet's feeding, walking, and playtime schedules consistent. Predictability helps reduce their anxiety. Also, ensure they have a designated space where they feel safe and comfortable.
Provide Mental Stimulation by engaging your pets with interactive toys, puzzles, and games to keep their minds active. Be sure to rotate toys regularly to keep them interested and prevent boredom.
Physical Exercise with regular walks, playing fetch, or engaging in indoor activities for cats. As with you, exercise helps them release pent-up energy, maintain physical well-being, and reduces their stress.
Create a Calm Environment by using calming aids such as pheromone diffusers, calming collars, or soothing music to create a peaceful atmosphere. Ensure you avoid loud noises and sudden changes in the environment that could startle your pet.
Show Affection and Reassurance by spending quality time with your pets, offering physical affection and verbal reassurance. Petting and cuddling can be very soothing for both you and your pet— they need to know that you are safe and sound, and this helps them do so. Pay attention to their body language and respond to their needs for comfort and security.
Sessions of The Emotion Code® for your pet. Not only do these sessions help you release old emotions, but they can also work for your pet as well. They may be carrying stuck energy and old emotions from their past, or even your emotions, so helping them release them will help you both. Contact Carolyn Osborn to find out more.
By taking care of yourself and your pets during uncertain times it will help you all navigate the unknown together. Remember to prioritize self-care and seek support when needed. Your pets rely on you for stability and comfort, and by addressing their needs, you can create a harmonious and supportive environment for everyone.
Here’s to a stress-free life for you and your pets.
