What if you measured success by not what you accomplish but by your ability to perceive possibility and safety?
The modern world rewards the grind, burnout, working all hours of the day, but your body does not. We are rhythmic beings that require both action and rest.
When we are constantly on the go, our bodies are not perceiving safety or hope, it is like doomsday all the time to the nervous system.
Cortisol is pumping, breath is shallow, heart rate is increased, digestion slows… our vitality tanks as this occurs chronically. We become reactive, sleepless, out of touch with emotions.
Even if you’re working out, eating well, and hydrating, without an adaptable and resilient nervous system, health is tough to experience.
The joy of life is dulled, there is constant pressure to perform. Instead of bowing down to what is expected, you can make simple habit changes to boost your days. The truth is, the better you feel mentally and emotionally, the better you can perform when it’s time.
This isn’t about getting rid of hard work or stresses because that’s part of life too. The key is balance and resilience so when those things come up they can be handled accordingly. Your daily habits and thoughts build into this.
Swap late night scrolling or horror movies with reading, spending time with others, breath work, stretching, a hot bath, star gazing.
Hold the caffeine until you have a balanced meal, or switch that coffee for an adaptogenic blend.
Try herbal tea like Oatstraw before bed to nourish frayed nerves or a tincture of passionflower to slow looping thoughts.
Visit me as a client and receive a custom flower essence blend to assess things like anxiety or trauma.
There is so much opportunity to slow down. We just have to prioritize it.
