It's either activated to fight or flee with all of that tension, or we might have gotten to the final step where now we're completely depleted of energy.
The little energy we have is going to other priorities in our body, not necessarily to get us up and move us about the world.
So muscles, again, healthy.
We can get up, we can move, we can do if we need to.
A regulated nervous system, our breath is
Slow and deep, our heart rate is more or less regular.
Now, what I'm not saying though is that doesn't mean that there's not moments of stress where
I have a reaction, I become tense, I act in the world, my heart rate elevates a little bit, and then I can calm down.
So with that, from a more psychological perspective, we can still have upset, we can still have, you know, uncomfortable emotions, but we have the ability to A, stay present, right?
Know we're having an upset, not just reacting from it.
And we can bounce back, right?
We can come back down to calm, release the tension in our muscles, our heart rate goes back down to normal, our breathing normalizes, and we're calm and grounded again.
So
Larger majority of us, again, we're living with tense muscles or we don't have the energy that we want or need.
We're either holding our breath all day long or it's so quick and short, it's coming from our chest.
Again, signals that our body is in an unsafe experience.
And again, our heart rate kind of fluctuates based on that, with it elevating as stress rises.
So
That often then looks like emotionally we become overwhelmed, overreactive, shut down, maybe in moments where we do need to act or to assert ourselves.
And of course, there's many other versions of living in a state, but I think the first kind of pillar of awareness begins with A, can I become connected and present?
