“As human beings, we were not meant to be in this hyper-aroused nervous system state for sustained periods of time” – Terri Cole

Intro

I’ve been hearing from so many of you that you’re feeling overwhelmed by what’s happening in the world right now. And if you are, you’re normal. Because it is overwhelming.

We were not designed to be in this hyper-aroused nervous system state for as long as we’ve been. Our bodies aren’t meant for it. Our minds aren’t meant for it. And yet here we are, living in a 24-hour bad news cycle that literally never ends.

You know, it didn’t used to be this way. There was a time when the nightly news was one person reporting on the day’s events without editorializing. Now it’s a circus of talking heads and pundits and narratives coming at you from every direction. And if you’re trying to be a well-informed, good global citizen without being buried under a tidal wave of bad news, that’s a really hard line to walk.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, anxious, or paralyzed, this one is for you. And you’re not alone. I created a free guide including a guided meditation called One Love to go along with this post. You can grab it at terricole.com/guide.

There are things you can do to keep your mental, physical, and emotional health intact right now. None of them cost money. Most of them are about changing your mind about what you’re allowed to give yourself. So here’s my psychological survival kit.
