Long read but worth it.
To understand stress and its impact on your life, you need to know TWO THINGS:
1. HOW you react when something stressful happens to you, and
2. (more importantly) WHY you tend to react the way that you do…
Our survival stress physiology will dictate how well we can heal, recover, and regenerate.
MEANING: We can change our behaviours till the 'cows come home,' but if we don't work on our biology, and work on releasing and integrating the fight/flight/freeze survival energies that are trapped inside of us, our energy reserves and any little capacity we have left in our 'tanks' will be drained dry.
-In other words, we will always feel exhausted.
The flipside of this is anxiety: feeling like being a fraud and not being worthy of joy or success. If this is you… if you have old junk that you are still carrying with you unnecessarily that is weighing you down, then know that: You are NOT alone, and there ARE ways to break through this so you can live from a place of thriving (rather than merely surviving).
BOTTOM LINE: Gotta work at the stress physiology levels and get real good at it.
It all starts with your nervous system – learning how (and why) it deals with stress the way it does, and gaining the practical tools (neurosensory exercises) that you need to RE-TUNE it.
