becoming experts on our own stress with stress expert dr. aditi nerurkar
Description
My husband and I have been following the amazing Dr. Aditi Nerurkar for months now, and putting her tips to work in our sometimes-stressful lives.
Now that she’s put all her wisdom together in a book and started her own Substack, it seemed like the time to ask her to share science-backed strategies for managing and mastering stress – beyond unhelpful and annoying clichés (“just relax?!”).
So in this episode, we talk about the personal stress crisis that inspired Aditi to become a world expert on the subject; how she manages her own stress as a working mom with a young kid; and how to apply the “5 Resets" in your day-to-day life.
We also get into:
* Finding small moments of calm throughout the day
* The 3-second routine she recommends when making a transition (before picking up kids, etc.)
* Night time screen time and “Revenge Bedtime Procrastination”
* What keeping your phone nearby at work or in bed does to your stress
* Habit formation and why falling off the wagon can actually be good
