I hit record 3x as I got all choked up at seeing the truth of this headline. The End of Survival Mode is attainable, accessible and I'm committed to sharing what I can with you to get your level of understanding on this high enough that you can see it too. In this episode I start to talk inside the distinction of You, and Your Nervous System. A favourite quote I like to pull out now is that this is not about you. This is about your nervous system. It wants (needs) micro, slow, gentle done a few times a day, for a few months - to maximise the magic of things like neuroplasticity, bioplasticity - the very bits that change the program it is committed to executing. A wee milestone episode for me asI feel all sorts evoked by the headline on this one. Because after 40 years running for my life, I am in the space beyond survival mode. And I never knew that this space even existed. I was more focused on "managing as best I can". ______________________________________________________________________ Shannon Eastman Shannon Eastman is a business growth strategist fluent in both boardroom dynamics and nervous system regulation.
