I'm a stressed out person, always have been always will be. It's just part of my nature but that doesn't mean I have no control. People cope with stress a variety of ways and many of them are negative like smoking and drinking too much alcohol which seem like they're relieving stress but in the long run not only cost lots money they also wreck your health which only adds more stress. When it comes to stress management, one of the very best things I've found which has only benefits and no harm is exercise.
Life changes in so many ways, but what never changes is that life is stressful. Whether it's work or raising children or managing finances, life is stressful thing. It's better to just acknowledge that and plan accordingly than to be caught off guard. The best way to do that is just to make exercise a part of your life. At certain stages in my life I have had lots of time to exercise. Right now I'm in a stage where I my time is so limited that I have to make exercise a priority. If not, I can tell that the my stress levels lead to poor sleep quality, which leads to irritability which leads to more stress and so this ugly downward spiral begins until I deal with my stress properly.
Exercise doesn't have to be hard, it just has to engaging for your mind, body, and spirit to really feel the full effects. Personally, I try to do HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) involving a combination of cardio, weight training, and flexibility at least 2-3 times a week. But if that doesn't work out, I know I can always get in a walk several times a week, usually in the evening, to help me de-stress and sleep well.
No matter what form of exercise you choose, it is so important to have the proper active wear and that's why I'm so excited to partner with athlesire brand WISKII Active. WISKII designs their active wear to be highly functional by workout fabrics like LYRCA and NILIT so that you have maximum movability combined with a buttery soft feel that gives you maximum comfort. And now you can save an extra 15% off your purchase with my code BLEU15.
But, WISKII goes a step beyond function and also focuses on form. Their clothing is designed to be very chic and stylish like this Flex Sport 3/4 Sleeve Crop Top that has padded cups for function and the cut outs at the shoulders for a sexy chic look. As much as I love this mesh window in these Training Mesh Leggings, the thing that surprised me the most is high waist with the criss-cross top. This feature makes my waist look longer and leaner and gives me some nice tummy support.
Even though I have made exercise a regular part of my life for the past 18 years of so, I'm still a real person, not a fitness influencer. I'm over 40, I've had two children, and my body has imperfections. There are lumps and bumps and places that aren't as perky as they used to be, but all my body insecurities melted when I put on WISKII. These clothes make my body look good, and with over 4 fittings from sketch to store to ensure the perfect fit, is it any wonder that they make me look and feel amazing?
My decision to put my health first, to deal with my stress in a positive way has had the been one of the best decisions of my life and has had such a huge impact on how I deal with the difficulties of daily life. Putting these clothes on actually motivates me to get moving and press on with my fitness journey in spite of my busy schedule and WISKII just made this journey much more comfortable and infinitely more chic.
