Why do we become so overloaded with stress? And even more importantly, how can we offload the pressure it puts on our minds and bodies? Eliza Huie is an author and biblical counselor who addresses healthy ways to deal with stress by understanding the autonomic, sympathetic, and parasympathetic nervous systems. When our mental gas pedals get stuck on anxiety and stress, it’s hard to learn how to regulate our emotions which affect our physical health, but it can be done! Eliza offers advice on how to clear your mind, activate the healing parasympathetic nervous system, and reset your heart and soul when facing difficult times.
