Every day each of us is faced with stress. Our daily demands drain our limited resources of time, energy, money, and focus. There never seems to be enough resources to go around, building stress builds and it gets compounded daily.<\/p>\n

What if there was a way to find balance and peace in our lives? A way to be happy in our lives? I propose that although we can reduce all sources of stress in our lives, we can however develop better-coping strategies both short term and long term.\u00a0 For example, money: saving every day by reducing unnecessary purchases and setting up automatic retirement savings can reduce daily stress over money and make saving for retirement a bit easier.<\/p>\n

Pregnancy offers a unique opportunity to perceive and review your daily lives.\u00a0 Everyone wants to avoid unnecessary pain and suffering.\u00a0 Simple daily choices can not only reduce pregnancy discomforts and stress but also work to improve your birth and postpartum experience.\u00a0 For example, posture and body mechanics: by switching out your office chair for an exercise ball<\/a> you can strengthen your core muscles and align your baby in utero, therefore, reducing pregnancy and birth discomforts. In labor, a strong core facilitates movement, which when combined with an aligned baby will help the baby to descend and be born with less pain and in a shorter period of time.<\/p>\n
