You Can't Think Your Way Outta This One
Verity Paterson | APR 3
There comes a time where you can’t think your way out of it.
That's where I was earlier this week.

All the life stressors that had been bubbling for weeks suddenly leapt to the surface and my emotions felt out of control.
I wonder if you can relate?
I know it's trendy to talk about 'improving your mindset' these days. And that's not entirely incorrect.
But everything in balance, right?
When stress is intense or prolonged - like with cost of living, job instability, sick loved ones, or ongoing hardships like racial or gender prejudice, there reaches a point we cannot simply think our way out of it.

The physiological experiences going on under the surface mean we literally can’t access our pre-frontal cortex.
That means we can’t think clearly, make complex decisions or emotionally regulate.
And in times of distress, self-care practices like yoga are the first to drop out of our day.
But speaking from experience (and the science of the nervous system), it's more important than ever to maintain your yoga practice or find other ways to create space for your brain and body to regulate.
I know it's not easy to find that space.

As much as I’m inviting you to carve out space for yoga, I’m doing the same for me.
Sometimes choosing where to start is a nightmare when you’re frazzled, so please give me a call or email so I can support you to cut through the decision fatigue on where to start.
I also want to acknowledge that some stressors aren’t going away, so there may be other supports and resources you need. Make sure you ask for help and seek them out.
Much love friends,
Verity 🌼
