Constant overstimulation keeps your nervous system in fight-or-flight mode, and chasing the next health hack only makes it worse. Before you can optimize anything, you need to regulate your body first. A simple morning routine that grounds your nervous system is the foundation that makes everything else possible.
We live in a world that's constantly overstimulating. What's the next thing that's gonna help me live longer and healthier? We're always going on to the next thing, but we're overlooking the things that have been around at our fingertips for years. So we get to the point where if we're overstimulating, if you're overdoing, it's still a stressor on your body.
The paralysis of analysis, right?
Exactly. Yeah. So if you're in fight or flight after that period has passed, then of course you're overdoing it. And eventually that leads to burnout. Then you add in everything that is at our tips today, the expectations, taking care of our family, our elderly, the young ones, our careers, and then you stack it on everything else. So when you need to regulate your system, that's when you can build that foundation of your biology. Then you can optimize, schedule time for yourself. And the best, most simple thing to do is start when you wake up.
