Everything feels like too much lately. A slight change to your morning routine sends you into a tizzy. A new health supplement makes your body feel like it's on high alert. Small things that never bothered you before now feel overwhelming, and your tolerance for change has shrunk to almost nothing. This isn't weakness or being dramatic. It's your nervous system working overtime. When we've been running on stress for too long, our internal alarm system gets stuck in the "on" position, treating minor disruptions like major threats. The good news is that this hypersensitive state isn't permanent.

Today we're exploring why our bodies get jittery and how your nervous system acts like a smoke alarm that's reacting to the slightest whiff of toast instead of real danger. I share from personal experience navigating these rocky patches during my burnout days, when everything felt like a challenge. We discuss how this oversensitivity makes everyday things feel threatening when your system is stuck in high-alert mode and what's really at play when you're in overdrive.

We dive into how to break free by layering soothing signals that help your brain calm down; not just ignoring stress, but actively creating an environment that tells your brain it's safe to relax. We explore the power of changing scenery through short getaways to places you associate with peace, establishing routines focused on stability and predictability, and simple activities like slow meals, restorative exercise and mindfulness practices.

Being in overdrive now doesn't define your future. It's an opportunity to recalibrate and reclaim your energy. I'd love to hear from you. What here resonates with you, and how do you manage your highs and lows?
