STRESS (and its opposite safety / relaxation)
… is the (entire) 3rd leg of a 3 legged multi-factorial wellness stool.
The more daily stress we have, the shorter (or non existent) that 3rd leg will be and the more likely everything else we do to stay healthy (the other 2 legs) will fail to truly improve our overall health and capacity to heal.
It's essentially one step forward … two steps back (chronic stress).
The body cannot fully heal in a chronically stressed (fight or flight, sympathetic nervous system) state because vital blood flow and nutrients get directed away from the gut (where the great majority of our immune cells exist) and other organs that are not necessary for immediate survival (out-running the bear).
To truly heal, we need to address the daily stressors in life, First … by removing them if we can, leaving them if we can, or at least finding ways to reduce them through things like breath-work, laughter, being or walking in nature (preferably barefoot / grounded), and good old fashioned 🙌 PLAY 🙂!
I see you and I love you all.
