Understanding Stress Reactions

A dysregulated nervous system can lead to responses such as fighting, fleeing, or freezing in stressful situations. Individuals can identify their default stress reactions through a metaphorical inquiry process that categorizes them as different animals, like the pusher rhino or the hesitant tortoise. This understanding can illuminate personal tendencies towards stress and help shift towards a more heart-centered response. A free quiz is available to assist in this self-discovery, aiming to improve clarity, relationships, and overall well-being.

We’ve been talking a lot about habits and rituals lately in our Heart Centered Membership community and classes. And our new Heart Centered planner includes a “habit tracker.”

‘Tis the season, right?

But before we jump into optimization mode, we need to look beneath the surface into our psyche to examine what’s really up when we wake up. And that’s what most productivity methods miss—our history with mornings.

And that’s why we chose this episode of With Love, Danielle as a BEST OF episode.

Danielle explains how she created her own therapeutic approach to mornings because “morning mindfulness is how you activate your superpowers.” It sets up how the rest of your day (and your life) unfolds, so let’s take a deeper, psychological look.
