Regulating stress enables you to be your best self

Visualize wellness as a pyramid structured on three fundamental questions that align with different aspects of our being.

Nervous System (Base) - "Am I safe?"

This question addresses our body's immediate physiological response to its environment. It's about feeling physically safe and secure, essential for our autonomic nervous system to function optimally, allowing us to relax and rejuvenate.

Emotions (Middle) - "Am I loved? Am I connected?"

These questions focus on our emotional state, encompassing our need for love, belonging, and connection. They reflect our interpersonal relationships and our feelings of emotional security.

Cognition (Top) - "Am I understood? Do I understand?"

At the cognitive level, these questions pertain to understanding and being understood by others, encompassing communication, self-expression, and personal growth.

Understanding your body, your nervous system, and regulating them has helped me create my best work to date. Just wanted to share a little bit with the builder community, especially for Mental Health Awareness month.
