FLASHBACK FRIDAY: Standing Still To Move Forward
By slowing down and standing still, we allow ourselves to move forward. We start to be able to regulate our Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) which is the part of the body that brings us back to a calm state after a stressful event. Chronic stress prevents the PNS from functioning properly. By maintaining a healthy PNS, we allow ourselves the grace to be in a position of strength, even when we receive bad news, or are put under a sudden tight deadline at work. Maintaining practices that lead to a less stressful life means that we are much less...
