60: 4 Pillars to Feeling Like You Again
Manage episode 468187531 series 3545146
Your nervous system is not being dramatic—it’s doing its job, constantly asking, "Are we safe?" And when your missionary leaves, that question can send you into stress overdrive. Whether you're lying awake composing emails to the mission president at 2 a.m. or zoning out on social media, your body is just trying to cope.
But here’s the good news: You can get back to steady, sane, and like yourself again with four science-backed (and surprisingly simple) tools:
✔️ Sleep – Your brain’s reset button. Learn why it’s the first thing to go and how to reclaim it.
✔️ Sunlight – The free mood booster that helps regulate your stress.
✔️ Movement – Shake off stress (literally) and reset your system like nature intended.
✔️ Breath – Your built-in calming tool—if you actually use it!
We’ll talk about how these tools helped me during my son’s home MTC, why tracking my reactions changed everything, and how one small shift can make a big difference in how you show up—for your missionary and yourself.
✨ Take a deep breath, mama. You’ve got this.
