Becoming More Resilient to Stress


Listen Later

Join Nikita on this week's episode and empower yourself with the tools that radically transform your ability to navigate stress. Learn what background stress is and how you can become happier, healthier and more joyful with greater ease and flow.


KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Background stress is low-grade, persistent stress that we carry without realizing - caused by constant notifications, unresolved thoughts & micro tensions - Paul Mckenna
  • Acute stress is sudden, intense reactions to a specific threat; fight/flight kicks in; great in short bursts and ideally the body returns to homeostasis 
  • Stress accumulates by unprocessed micro-stressors, not taking time to recover, chronic worry or perfectionism, emotional residue, psychological habituation 
  • Stress compounds and wears down the nervous system, reduces your stress tolerance and raises your internal “stress thermometer”
  • Reset your internal stress thermometer: be aware of the ways your body is sending you stress signals; interrupt the pattern; regulate daily; recalibrate with nature and movement
  • Physical cues of stress: tight jaw, shallow breaths, restlessness
  • Tools that build long term resilience: breathwork, mindset shifts, somatic practices, emotional hygiene 


“Background stress is like a leaky faucet - drip drip drip - slowly filling the tub until it overflows. Acute stress is like a bucket of water dumped all at once.”
