The world is stressful, no doubt about it! There is always something that tries to get our attention away from what truly matters. In 2016 I went on sick leave with stress and anxiety and was off duty for 1½ years. Then again, in 2019, I was forced to take another sick leave due to a serious illness I’m still recovering from. In retrospect, I think the stress and anxiety from 2016 were a red flag, warning, and heads-up for the illness in 2019. I clearly see how the two are linked now.

In this article, I will share 5 Things I Have Learned About Stress-Free Living after being diagnosed with stress and an anxiety disorder in 2016 and getting severely ill in 2019.

Lesson #1 – Prioritise Your Own Health First.

As I mentioned before, I have designed Bøglund Lightworker Institute to support me and my health before anything else. I am totally unapologetic because I know the only things that stand between me and achieving my goals is my health. 

Think about it;

Not enough money ➡ find new income streams.
I always recommend my clients have at least 7 independent income streams. So if one doesn’t work anymore or loses your job, it’s not the end of the world because you still have 6 other income streams working for you. It gives you peace to find a replacement for the 7th. The only way to have 7 independent income streams and not go down with stress and outburn is through passive income streams – investments, stocks, royalties, etc.

People being unsupportive ➡ replace them with people who actually do support you.

Lack of opportunities ➡ think outside of the box and go after what you want.

Not the right city/place ➡ travel or take the meeting online.

Covid-19 ➡ Do it online.

Political/racial/religious issues ➡ don’t let others’ fear-based minds and actions hold you back, yet choose your battles carefully. Sometimes it’s better to wait to call someone out on their ignorance when you actually have a voice and people who support you.

Lost your job ➡ get a new one or build your own business. You’ll be surprised how many Lightworkers I have seen who decided running their own show was a better fit than getting a regular job. Most of them work freelance as consultants or coaches within something they are super passionate about, and they have never been happier.

I don’t believe in complete blockages! If you really want something, you can get it if you’re willing to do what it takes. One of my superpowers is to knock down what seems like blocks and turn them into opportunities for success. 

I haven’t met the block I couldn’t kick down… except health!

Our health is our greatest weakness if we don’t take care of ourselves, yet our health is also our greatest strength if we do take care of ourselves. If we prioritise our health mentally, emotionally, and physically, nothing really holds us back except our own limiting beliefs. 

You can do ANYTHING if your mental, emotional, and physical health is in check.

If your health is off the rack, so will anything else in your life.
