6 signs you may be in survival mode

Do you feel emotionally and physically burnt out, unmotivated and irritable (possibly even irrational); snapping for no significant reason, frustrated at the smallest thing and disinterested in socialising or getting out into the world then you could be living in survival mode.

Do you:

• Find it hard to make decisions? 

• Feel unmotivated? 

• Feel irritable and unable to relax or unwind? 

These are just a few symptoms that living from a position of stress can exhibit. 

Physical symptoms of stress can look like:

• Headaches

• Fatigue

• Sleep problems 

Long term stress can also have significant impact on your health such as high blood pressure or weakened immune system. 

Living in frequent, or constant, stress means your body is tuned in to your sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) 

Don’t get me wrong living with a bit of stress can be valuable in short bursts, but long term survival mode can impact your physical and emotional resilience. Most importantly it’s finding out what is an appropriate level of stress for YOU!

How can Reflexology help you?

I know you know that Reflexology can aid relaxation but did you know that one of the advanced techniques I use is to work the vagus nerve reflexes. This involves working the pineal, hypothalamus, pituitary, thymus, solar plexus and adrenal reflexes. Working these reflexes initiates the Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest and digest). 

Just look at the picture attached to see some of the organs that the vagus nerve is connected to!
