Then you have the dull knives is what I call them, people that just have no contact with their body whatsoever. Maybe you want to use more of these technological solutions to get more calibrated and more aware. Other big conclusion we talked about is overall, the first step is just reducing arousal.

This is critical. free thing you can do it's probably going to have multiple benefits across multiple areas of your life and so before we start worrying about specific protocols or supplements or anything like that let's just start by reducing our overall stress cup number three find things that work best for you this is fill your recovery cup this is something i haven't said yet
