Do you feel like you’re always rushing?  Wondering where your creativity has gone? If so, you might be stuck in “survival mode”.The everyday and chronic stress we experience causes a physiological response in our body. We release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol and are prompted into survival mode - fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.  When our body doesn’t feel safe enough to return to baseline stress level, we can get stuck in a survival mode. In today’s episode, I’ve got five signs that you might be stuck in survival mode.  Some of these signs can be subtle and most are fairly common.So listen in to find out if you might be living in survival mode.
