Maintaining a workout routine during periods of high stress requires flexibility and self-care. I prioritize stress-relieving activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to manage stress levels. Shorter, more manageable workouts or activities like brisk walks can help maintain consistency without adding additional pressure. Setting realistic goals and adjusting expectations during stressful times is key, allowing myself grace and recognizing that any movement is better than none. Seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist can also provide additional coping mechanisms and encouragement during challenging periods.
