Let me guess, you have a hard time slowing down your mind races when you try to fall asleep and you open your eyes to an automatic to- do list before you realize you're even awake. You have 180 hours of things to do and 18 hours to accomplish them. You are dragged through your day by your to-do list.
By the end of your day, you are angry, resentful, exhausted and the only thing you've really done successfully is abandon yourself. (I said what I said)
You need some quiet time- anything to quiet the mind, but meditation makes the racing thoughts louder. That glass of wine at night though, it understands and it shushes away the thoughts and puts them to bed at the bottom of the glass.
But it's just an illusion, a temporary fix to the longe term issue- a dysregulated nervous system. but it not your fault. Alcohol, substances, or compulsive behaviors are often coping strategies—not character flaws. The goal of stress management isn’t shame. It’s building regulation so fewer coping tools are needed. There are safer, sustainable ways to support the system.
On February 28th Manage Your Stress Before It Manages you will teach you how to regulate your nervous system, give you clarity, calm your mind and reconnect with yourself. You're not weak. You're not broken. You're just not regulated.
