Flight or Fight: Understanding Your Stress Response

  • Summary

  • In this episode, inspired by the Calm Within Chaos blog, we dive into the ‘fight or flight’ response—an essential survival instinct that prepares our bodies to react to danger. We'll break down how this response works on a biological level, focusing on the sympathetic nervous system and the release of adrenaline and cortisol. But with modern-day stressors like work demands and financial pressures, this instinct is often triggered too frequently. We'll explore why managing stress is crucial for long-term health and share practical strategies, from relaxation techniques to mindfulness and meditation, to help bring calm back into your life.
