S2E8: Why Rest is a Threat
Why is resting so much harder than working?
If you have ADHD, a "go-go-go" personality, or a penchant for all-or-nothing thinking, "just relaxing" often feels like a threat rather than a relief. In this episode of The Midlife Rebrand, we welcome back the insightful Alanna to dive deep into the mechanics of our nervous systems.
In this episode, we explore:
The Urgency Trap: Why speed keeps your body in a chronic stress response.
Micro-Shifts for Safety: How moving 10% slower or changing your playlist signals "safety" to your brain.
The 7 Types of Rest: Why physical sleep isn't enough (and why Jiu-Jitsu might actually be "restful" for you).
Modern Stressors: How vague, constant pressure leads to inflammation and burnout.
Mark Your Calendars:
May 7: Free talk at Riverside Sports Therapy on the stress-injury cycle.
August 28–31: Backcountry Lodge Retreat – Reclaim your peace. https://salienceeducation.thinkific.com/products/courses/attendweekend
Stop surviving your life and start living it. Tune in to learn how to finally give your nervous system the break it deserves.
