- "Even small things stress me out these days."
- "I can't prioritize. I resolve it by working harder and finishing
everything. But then, there's little left for me."
- "Some days my mind feels like mush."
- "I'm exhausted all the time."
It is normal to feel stressed when we face difficult events. When your
nervous system is working well it will adjust and modulate to a point
of rest when we remove ourselves from the stressor or when the event
is over. When the resiliency of our nervous system is compromised however
the activation stays hyper-aroused. At this time even small stressors
are felt more severely. A regulated nervous system in contrast, allows
you to react flexibly to stress and changes in your life. You are in
control of how you want to respond.
