#016: Stuck in Stress Mode? Here Are the 7 Steps to Reset Your System
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, frustrated with your health, reactive, or unable to move forward, there is a physiological explanation.
This episode breaks down why the body gets locked into stress mode and the seven steps that help the system shift back into healing, digestion, and creativity.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• What the nervous system is and how it functions
• Why stress mode makes it difficult to heal, manifest, make decisions, or think clearly
• The seven steps your system needs to come out of survival mode
The 7 Steps to Reset Your System
1. Fuel
Stabilizing blood sugar reduces cortisol spikes and supports a calmer baseline.
2. Minerals
Key minerals regulate nerve signaling, adrenal function, and the stress response.
3. Mindset, Subconscious Patterns, and Emotions
Old beliefs and emotional loops can keep the system activated—even without external stress.
4. Circadian Rhythm
Light exposure and sleep timing directly influence cortisol regulation and nervous system balance.
5. Natural Environment
Time in nature lowers stress physiology. Reducing environmental irritants decreases overall body load.
6. Down Time
Actual rest—moments without stimulation—helps the system shift out of constant activation.
7. Breathwork
Long exhales and physiological sighs offer rapid, reliable ways to settle the nervous system.
If you are trying to change your life, career, or health, you cannot do that from a dysregulated state. These seven steps form the physiological foundation that makes clarity, direction, and forward movement possible. And that is why the PAUSE is the first step in all of the work we do together!
