After a long day, streaming shows can be a healthy way to unwind. But if youโre zoning out for hours just to escape, numb, or stop feeling anything at all... your body notices.
Youโre not lazy - youโre likely stuck in a ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฐ๐น๐ฒ your nervous system hasnโt completed yet.โจ
And when we donโt have the tools to ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ, our brain searches for something -ย ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จย - that mimics relief. Even if itโs temporary. Even if it disconnects us more.
But ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ณ feels different.โจItโs connected. Intentional. And you can train your system to choose it... one small shift at a time.
โ๏ธ Try journaling for 5 minutes (identify your emotion).โจโ๏ธ Or texting someone safe.โจโ๏ธ Or walking outside for 10.
โ๏ธ Incorporate some BLS modes.
Every time you choose ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ป๐๐บ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป๐ด, youโre not just coping - youโre building ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ and nervous system health.
