Humans did not evolve to face rush hour traffic, 24/7 news alerts on our phones showing us the worst things that are happening in the world, or to live half our waking lives at work with bosses and difficult coworkers. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you live, there are times in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, stressed out, and exhausted from the constant barrage of chaos.

Luckily, there are several things we can do to decompress, relax and recenter ourselves. We can train our mind and body to release the fight-or-flight stress response. And most importantly, we can retrain our mind to not take on new stress and to see overwhelming situations in a more peaceful way.

In this episode, I share those secrets for letting our bodies heal from the damage of stress. I share tips for activating our body’s healing mechanisms. And I share how we can nourish our mind, body and soul so that we don’t let unprocessed emotions turn into mental anguish, physical chronic pain, cancer, heart disease, and so many other stress-related ailments.
