All jokes aside, hypervigilance is debilitating.
Constantly thinking something bad is going to happen, being ‘on’ 24/7, and ready to engage in fight or flight. This means your nervous system is always ‘on’ and that comes with a price of chronic fatigue, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, illness, and injuries too.
Hypervigilance is present for many reasons and through different experiences, not just policing. Motherhood in fact can create a sense of being ‘on’ all the time.
Fight or flight response is a good thing, it’s how our bodies keep us safe… however.. continuous fight or flight over a period of time, not so much. When we learn how to ‘switch it off’ and regulate ourselves emotionally, spiritually, physically and energetically, we can regulate the system to respond ‘appropriately’.
Hypervigilance is simply that your body has forgotten how to come back to baseline before keeping you alert due to unregulated past experiences , and/or has been through enough high stressful situations that it’s just waiting for the next thing to happen. Teaching your body it’s safe is 🔑.. how?
