Why You Can't 'Just Relax' (And That's Actually Normal)


Listen Later

“Just relax.” People say it like it’s the easiest thing in the world. And it sounds easy. Just relax. Really, how hard can it be? 

But more often than not, you’ve tried everything to relax… and your body still won’t calm down. If you’re nodding right now, I have news for you: 

This is normal.

It means your nervous system is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do to keep you safe. After enough stress, it stays in protection mode. It scans and braces because it hasn’t gotten the message that the threat is over yet.

That’s why deep breathing, meditation, or any other method to rest doesn’t work. You can’t relax a body that’s convinced it’s in danger.

So in this video, I’ll help show you how to get your body relaxed, and how to begin working with it so that you can feel restored.

Tune in to learn:

  • Why “just relax” often makes things harder
  • How protection mode keeps the body alert
  • What allows relaxation to happen naturally
