So you can be startled, and then you can calm down and get on, but these repeated insults. So the presence of adrenaline... over a course of 24 hours, the fibroblast will start to uptake TGF-beta, and this will convert into this myofibroblast. But what happens with that is it starts to shrink the tissue, and it's at a very slow rate.

So you don't all of a sudden become tight, like I said, in a day, a day and a half. But over the course of a month, you will have one centimeter of tensioning in these tissues. So exposing yourself to stresses is very important for adaptation and for health, but the chronic soaking in a stress response will change the nature of your connective tissue and you will have tissue thickening.

And this can lead to pain problems. So exposing oneself to parasympathetic practices as a way to offset and refill your cup, so to speak, I think is a really great way to consciously balance our life because there's never not going to be enormous amounts of stress showing up in our life. But having this as a respite that's within you, like this is your own internal medicine chest.

In Body by Breath, I talk about the five Ps of the parasympathetic nervous system. There's really five Ps that this is a self-produced recipe that will change state guaranteed every time. So the first P is perspective. And so this is that mindset piece. There's a top-down appreciation that you are willing to create conscious change or conscious awareness.

So that top-down is a host for the experience. So if you just go into rolling willy-nilly, will it do something? Yes. But... If you're really trying to, I think, improve your parasympathetic tolerance, you want to be there to receive the information that your body is going to start to share with you.

Because one of the things that happens when you turn on your off switch is quite frequently in the off switch, your emotions arise. And those emotions can be pretty unpleasant and intolerable. But it's very important because that's what's in the way of, for many of us, of communication, of growth, of relational safety, all those things. So perspective.

For example, one of the perspectives that I worked with when I released the book is all of me is welcome here. Because releasing a book, and you know, because you've written books, you are... That's my entire brain. That's my... Everything I feel, think, and perceive is, like, in that book. And so it's really scary to... you know, what if this word is wrong?

What if I got this theory, you know, what if I misappropriated something or, you know, it's, so all of me is welcome here. And that really helped me with a lot of the public speaking that I did post that book. But something more simple than anybody can do is like, I embody my body. I love that one because it's just like, okay, I embody my body.

And so it allows you to be a student of this internal process. Parasympathetic dominant state is not a loud state. It's very quiet. So you really have to put yourself into a state of deep listening and sensing in order to have it manifest. So perspective. The second P is place. And place... Ideally, for true quietude, for true parasympathetic arousal, you need to have a place where you feel safe.

And that could be indoors or outdoors, but it should be relatively quiet. Ideally, for the relaxation response to occur, it should be on the darker side, so not in the presence of bright lights, not in the presence of a lot of noise like clanging kettlebells, you know, and things being slammed here and there.
