And you've got to push really hard in life to get the outcomes and goals and achieve the things that you want to achieve in life.

Stress is not the problem.

The problem is when we have too much stress and not enough recovery.

And that has an accumulative effect.

It builds up in our body.

It's what we call allostatic load, which is the wear and tear in your body as a result of chronic stress, just constantly being in the red.

Don't think of high-level stress.

It's just the busyness of your life.

That has an accumulative effect.

And we start experiencing that as signs and symptoms.

And where people get lost is they're not connecting those signs and symptoms with the cause.

And so they're treating the signs and symptoms.

But a lot of this stuff is rooted in poor stress control.

What's happening is you think like we've never been, we're in a really unique time at the moment.

There's never been a time where we've had so much stimulus.

You know, you think about in a day how much this thing is having to interpret.

High resolution imagery, multitasking, deadlines.

um there's a lot right and then we're trying to make we're trying to transition from work into our personal or home lives and we're trying to make that work and we've got the stress and pressure of what's happening in the economy we've got physical stress mental stress social stress it's like there's a lot coming at us and um nowadays i feel like it's easy for the water to start spilling over the top unless you really prioritize your physical and mental health

I kind of explain it like this is the thing that's got to get you through the hard times, right?

And where people really get lost is they go through difficult times in life, but they haven't invested physically and mentally and they get lost.
