Tomorrow at noelclark.com, I’ll share some tips on how to manage stress — such as for acute stress, try taking deep, slow breaths, which helps to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. In my book, “Return To Nature” I deep dive into the functions of the nervous system and how we can self-regulate. I explain in detail how and why such tactics work. If you have the book, great, bust it out and refer to it for more in depth explanations of the tips. I find that understanding the why’s help to foster better, healthier, and more consistent habits. Remember, knowledge is empowering — you have the power to completely transform your life. In a Return To Nature, we find the healing tools we need to create healthier and more powerful versions of ourselves.
For now, check out this video to familiarize yourself with the different types of stress the body and mind experience and reflect on what type(s) you want to manage more efficiently. If you want to take it a step further, I would suggest grabbing a notebook and jotting down notes on the different types of stress and what conditions or people set off or exacerbate your stress levels. Getting to know yourself deeply is a key to unlocking your fullest potential and highest good.
Peace.
