The Nourished Nervous System

What if stress in itself is not the problem? What if through a shift in mindset you can begin to change your relationship to stress.
In this week's episode of 'The Nourished Nervous System,' I revisit the importance of carving out unstructured alone time, drawing from personal experiences of reconnecting with nature and its rejuvenating effects.
And then transition to the core topic, the episode explores the stress response cycle in detail, examining stages from initial awareness to the crucial restoration phase.
This cycle is like a wave that you experience many times everyday, but what happens when you put a brake on somewhere in the cycle? This is when stress becomes a problem, not the stress itself but the inability to complete cycles.
Offering practical advice, including how physical activity can aid rest, I provide listeners with insightful strategies to manage stress effectively and enhance resilience.
