Survival mode - it's a reality many of us know all too well. We’re caught in a constant state of fight or flight, feeling like each day’s a race to the finish line where we rarely pause to breathe or truly live. And with the pace of our lives these days, it's easy to slip into this state without even realising it. 

Now, not all stress is your enemy. A little bit of pressure can actually sharpen your focus and boost your memory. But there's a tipping point. When you're constantly running on high alert, everything goes sideways. Your decision-making gets fuzzy, anxiety creeps in and suddenly you're not showing up as your best self anymore.

So what are the symptoms of being in survival mode and how do we escape this relentless cycle to craft a better life? Today we’re talking about: 

• Understanding the nervous system's role in stress
• Recognising beneficial vs. harmful stress
• Health implications of prolonged stress
• Conducting a life balance assessment
• Transforming survival mode into thriving
• Aligning daily actions with true fulfillment

Take a moment now to consider where you’re investing your time. Is your work just a paycheck, or does it also feed your passion? Are you nurturing your relationships, or are they falling by the wayside? How are you prioritising your physical and mental health?

Perhaps do your own life balance assessment, identify the gaps and start shifting focus. Answer honestly: where is your focus, and what’s lacking? You might be surprised how a few changes can turn survival mode into a vibrant, enriching life.
