Stress Response 5 Introduction

"I'm stressed" is so cliche it's maddening these days.

I hear it daily. Everyone has stress in their lives. "It's a stressful time". "I'm burnt out"

There is a hidden secret about stress.

Few know.

Even fewer capitalize on it.

Here it is:

Stress is actually good for you.

Before you scream a rebuttal, let me clarify. GOOD stress is good for you.

Bad stress wears your body down and makes you:
-lethargic
-overweight
-anxious
-depressed
-low sex-drive
-low quality sleep

Good stress, however, propels you toward you PEAK state:
-focused, optimistic mental state
-vigorous sex drive
-improved reflexes
-improved sleep
-better hormone balance
-peaceful mind

Here's the deal:

There are 5 root stressors that are primary and serve as the foundation of all human stress. 

Called "primal stressors", or "survival stress tools", as they tap deeply into our base survival mechanisms that guide and govern our behavior. 

They include:
--Fight
--Freeze
--Fast
--LSL (Love, Sex, Legacy)
--and Breathe

Independently, each of the five survival stress tools offers unique benefits to the practitioner can use them productively.

Combine them, and you unlock portions of your mind and body you don't know exist.

Congratulations! By educating yourself and reading this, you are ALREADY on your way to stress mastery.

Without getting too technical, here's a 2min overview of why stress can be both good and bad, depending on how you engage with it:

All of them engage with the dynamic relationship between "Fight or Flight" (sympathetic nervous system) and "Rest and Digest" (parasympathetic nervous system).

Many of us are caught in a vicious cycle of never being able to turn off our stress response. Our minds create stress out of habit.
