BURN THE BOATS

<p dir="auto">Fight-or-flight response is an evolutionary survival mechanism that’s wreaking havoc in our lives today, and most of us don’t even realize it!</p> <p dir="auto">It is a primitive reaction that triggers the release of hormones and other chemicals in the body to help us respond to a perceived threat, whether real or imagined.</p> <p dir="auto">Basically, it’s genetic instructions that tell us to run when we can and fight only as a last resort.</p> <p dir="auto">What’s troubling is that this crude mechanism, though still applicable in today’s settings, is causing us more harm than good.</p> <p dir="auto">Because we’re not meant to simply survive...we all NEED to THRIVE!</p> <p dir="auto">Here’s where it gets tricky: it seems like most of us will keep running away from living a healthy lifestyle until they no longer can, at which point, “fighting” is no longer an option.</p> <p dir="auto">Why run from healthy living?</p> <p dir="auto">It’s because most of us have grown accustomed and comfortable with eating junk food, drinking alcohol, and getting little to no sleep – to the point where real food, water and sleep have become “threatening” to a “way of life”.</p> <p dir="auto">Here’s some news to get things into perspective…</p> <p dir="auto">Not getting your dose of sugary treats or your buzz from booze or missing an episode of your fave sitcom aren’t threats…</p> <p dir="auto">Poor health and obesity are the REAL THREATS! And we keep running towards ‘em every darn time!</p> <p dir="auto">This has GOT TO CHANGE! And part of that change is creating a mindset where the fight-or-flight response serves our purpose (and not the other way around).</p> <p dir="auto">Today, let’s talk about harnessing this powerful mechanism, learning to stand and fight, and moving from a state of survival to a state where we all can thrive!</p> <p dir="auto">Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about creating a mindset that unconditionally fights for the healthy life we deserve!</p> <p dir="auto">------------</p> <p di
