"There's no place like home."

This is something we've heard and felt our whole lives.

It's that feeling when you walk through the door after a long day or a long vacation.

That feeling after you cross home plate on the baseball field.

And that feeling after a long stressful day.

HOME

Our bodies do all that they can to maintain "homeostasis."

We sweat, release chemicals, shiver, and get defensive all in an effort to maintain or get back to a state of peace and rest.

Sometimes our bodies just do their thing, and it works, and sometimes we use unhealthy coping mechanisms that can get in the way of our natural rhythms.

In today's podcast, we talk about avoidance, overuse of external substances, and other methods we use to get a "quick fix" feeling of home, but they aren't a long-term solution.

We also talk about those long-term solutions that are better for us in the long run, like sleep, connection, acceptance, and processing of emotions, and controlling the controllables.

Listen in to today's podcast and learn ways to get back to HOME!
