We've got to get used to regulating our nervous systems in a way where there's calm and there's peace and there's a sense of no cortisol, no adrenaline, because when we constantly are pushing ourselves to the point of almost exhaustion, our actual bodies are producing constantly cortisol, adrenaline, stress hormones, and if you stress the animal, you stress the person.
Imagine a world where taking a break isn't seen as a luxury but as a necessity. In this episode of 'Going Inward', Brandi Vezina flips the script on how we view downtime. She dives into why our society's obsession with productivity is wearing us down and why it's crucial to hit the pause button for our mental and emotional health.
From childhood, many of us are taught to seek validation from external sources, leading to a life of constant performance and, ultimately, burnout. Brandi passionately argues that investing in yourself isn't selfish—it's essential. She sheds light on how taking time to relax, enjoy a hobby, or simply do nothing can recharge your nervous system and prevent exhaustion.
Whether you're a workaholic or someone who feels guilty about taking a 'me day', this episode offers valuable insights on how to balance productivity with well-being. Brandi's relatable anecdotes and practical advice make it clear: it's time to rethink how we view downtime and start treating ourselves with the care we deserve.
