Fight or Flight: What It Really Means

Fight or flight is your body’s survival mode.
It’s not a mindset problem — it’s a nervous system response.

When your body senses stress (real or perceived), it shifts into protection:

• Tight jaw, neck, or shoulders
• Shallow breathing
• Racing thoughts or constant worry
• Digestive issues or bloating
• Trouble sleeping
• Feeling on edge, irritable, or exhausted
• Craving sugar, caffeine, or quick comfort

Your body is saying:
“I don’t feel safe yet.”

The goal isn’t to think your way out of it.
The goal is to signal safety to the body.

When the nervous system feels safe, the body can:
✔ relax
✔ digest
✔ heal
✔ regulate emotions

Healing starts in the nervous system. A calm system restores balance 💙

LOVE this thought provoking post from HeartMath! Do you know about the work of Masaru Emoto? Water is so much more than just liquid! And the human body is made up of what…60-70% water? Fascinating ❤️

What appears ordinary often contains extraordinary depth when truly understood...

Did you know gut issues can come from stress your body never finished processing? How long is list of unprocessed crap you never realized you had?

Does anybody even remember your baseline anymore? I love a calm and clear life! ❤️

Calm is our baseline, clarity is our birthright...

I totally agree with this! The science of Heartmath has been proving it for more than 30 years.

Your brain on deep breathing might surprise you! Scientists just discovered something incredible about the simple act of controlled breathing. It turns out that just 20 minutes of deep breathing exercises with music can create the same blissful brain patterns as psychedelic substances. No substances needed, just your lungs and some tunes. This ancient practice is finally getting the scientific recognition it deserves, and the results are mind-blowing.

Chronic stress doesn’t just affect your mind, it dysregulates your entire nervous system!

New Research: HeartMath's Approach to Healing Stress & Trauma
From Dysregulation to Coherence: Exploring the HeartMath® Approach to Emotional and Physiological Regulation
Jorina Elbers, MD, MS1,2and Rollin McCraty, PhD1
Chronic stress doesn't just affect your mind—it dysregulates your entire nervous system, contributing to anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and disease. A new 2025 study in Global Advances in Integrative Medicine and Health shows how HeartMath's HRV coherence biofeedback helps reset your body's stress response.
Unlike wearables that just track your heart rate variability, HeartMath teaches you to actively shift into "coherence"—a measurable state where your heart rhythm becomes smooth and organized, calming your nervous system in real time.
Just 5 minutes daily for 4-6 weeks produced:
✅ Reduced stress, anxiety & depression
✅ Better sleep & less pain
✅ Improved focus & emotional regulation
✅ Increased brain volume in memory centers
The science is clear: you can train your body out of dysregulation and into resilience.

Have you noticed how many New Year health ads start with the message:
“Fix yourself. Try harder. Do better.”

What if this year your body didn’t need fixing — just listening to?

Yesterday we celebrated my granddaughter’s first birthday.
There was pizza, sandwiches, cupcakes, cocktails… joy everywhere.

I chose water.

Not because food is bad —
but because this fast isn’t about food.

I’m down to my last 7 hours now,
and my body feels grateful. Clear. Almost like it’s singing.

This experience has reminded me that the hardest part isn’t physical hunger —it’s emotional reflex.

Choosing presence over impulse
has been a powerful act of self-trust. Food will always be there. Presence is what we practice.

I’m starting the year with a 72-hour fast — not as punishment, but as a pause. Not trying control my body —
but to listen to it without distraction.
Sometimes the most powerful reset is simply getting right with yourself again. Happy New Year!🎊

This is my focus for 2026. How about you?

Word of the day: COHERENCE

Meaning: A state where your heart, mind, and nervous system are working in harmony.

Why it matters:
When you enter coherence, stress chemistry decreases, intuition sharpens, and your whole body moves toward healing. HeartMath teaches us that coherence isn’t something you “think” your way into — it’s something you breathe your way into.

Try this mini-practice:
Close your eyes. Inhale through the heart. Exhale through the heart.
Slow and steady.
Notice how quickly your system softens into clarity.
