Five categories of stress—time, relationships, income, body, expectations—trigger threat responses in your brain. Chronic cortisol exposure depletes your immune, digestive, and reproductive systems, leaving you less resilient to everything else.
I sometimes use the acronym TRIBE for all of the different uncertainties and threats that we can experience as human beings. So T, time, R, relationships, I, income, B, body, E, our expectations. And then when you think about that, when you think about especially your own uncertainties or being with other people who have significant uncertainties, What reactions do you experience in your brain and body? So just appreciating everyone's level of awareness to know, like, where does that hit me? And what happens when that does hit me? And so if you want to just check that list on the left there of some of the things, the resources and all that sort of get declined, diminished, or disappear when when we're in that state, there's significant things like your immune system, your digestive system, your reproductive system is impacted when there's a lot of cortisol floating through your system on an extended regular basis.
