Riley’s not dangerous all the time. Just enough to keep you honest.
Out of nowhere a car pulls out in front of me. I'm preparing for the screech of metal smashing together BUT instead thank you stress cascade - I was able to swerve fast enough. Think about it - stress is designed to keep us safe from serious situations. What happens to divert all of this energy? It's taken away from normal processes. In fact some of those cells, proteins... let's just encompass them all & say molecules do not return back to their original job. Now imagine this DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY!?

Last year, I read Emily Nagoski’s book, Come As You Are and shared it often with you (and still get so many questions about it). It’s a great read for every woman or anyone having s*x or relationships with women (apparently, s*x is not a word we are supposed to use on here now, insert eye roll). Emily’s latest book, Burnout, was birthed from her last. I just started it and has me nose-diving right in. Highly recommend. #ComeAsYouAre #Burnout #whattoread #stressresponse #emotionalhealth #scienceofstress #holywomanhood #holymotherhood #writeclubnow #authenticallyyou #womenrising #thisisforthewomen https://www.instagram.com/p/BwU8UUKFRxd/?igshid=4ajycgor177t
@stressresponse.
the glass clanks down against the metal grated table. thor can’t seem to block out the persistent hum of the ship from the periphery of their focus – enhanced hearing makes it like an unscratchable itch. the god shifts in place, unsure of themself, ‘til finally coming to a rest, voice considerably more relaxed than their faux-laid back posture. they speak slow and nod pointedly; 'you’re a resistance rebel, then?’ and the intonation implies their complete lack of understanding of what any part of this title means.

Why Your Traumatized Brain Won't Let You Rest 🧠
Watched this and it explains something a lot of people struggle with but rarely understand. It breaks down how a stressed or traumatized brain can stay in “alert mode” even when nothing is happening, which is why rest feels uncomfortable instead of relaxing. It also shows how overthinking, guilt while resting, and constant mental noise are not random, but learned survival responses. Makes you look at your own patterns differently without making it overly dramatic.
Are You Living in Fight-or-Flight Mode? Subtle Signs Your Nervous System Needs Support
If you are looking for a wellness health and wellbeing mentor and consultant you are at the right place. Physical, Mental and Financial Heal
Have you ever felt constantly on edge, even during moments that should feel calm or ordinary? At Healthy Life Side, many people discover they have been living for years without realising their nervous system is operating in a heightened state. Recognising the signs of nervous system dysregulation is not about labelling yourself as broken, it is about understanding how prolonged stress quietly reshapes the body’s responses. When fight-or-flight becomes the default setting, the body behaves as if danger is always nearby, even when it is not.
