How To Change Your Stress Response (Anabolic Psyche Method)

Por Ruwan Meepagala

O que você irá aprender

Almost all emotional reactions, behavioral patterns, and even your self-concept is downstream from how you respond to moments of stress. This course will help ground moments of "nerves" or unwanted emotional reactions by first understanding what happens in your body when you feel bad or nervous, and provide a concrete exercise to start changing future stress behaviors. This is part 1 of the anabolic psyche course. Also see parts 2 and 3 on long-term emotional patterns and self-image.

Ruwan has coached hundreds of people to succeed in relationships and creative businesses over 12 years. At this time, he found that a poor stress response is the biggest physiological culprit of many forms of self-sabotage, including procrastination, mental fog, creative blocks, low self-esteem, miscommunication, and disconnection in...

Lição 1

Why You Get Nervous

Ever wonder why you get nervous, even when it makes no logical sense? This lesson shares the evolutionary reason for "nerves" and why you may react to stressful moments in unintended ways. (It's not that there's something "wrong" with you as much as your body may be misperceiving what's going on.)

Lição 2

Stages Of Stress

Stress in your body is not a singular reaction. There's actually a "cascade" of chemical reactions that occur from the moment you perceive a stressor. They represent two different chemical pathways which lead to "rising to the occasion" vs. "running away." Learn the science behind stress here.

Lição 3

Predator Vs. Prey Physiology

Our "human" stress response was actually passed down to us from our evolutionary ancestors. To the more primitive parts of our brains and nervous systems, you are either "eating" or "being eaten." Even though modern human life is far from the wild food chain, our emotions still come from here-- Most unwanted feeling-behaviors come from perceiving you are "prey." (i.e. defensive reactions.)

Lição 4

Downregulation

Similar to physical exercise, an emotional stressor can make you stronger (more capable) or weaker (less capable) depending on how you recover. The body and mind only recover when downregulated-- When you stop perceiving threats around you and can fully relax.

Lição 5

Flip Your Stress Response (Exercise)

This exercise grounds everything you've learned so far into a change you can feel in your body. The idea is to connect an emotional stress point to conscious (and safe) physical stress, with the opportunity to downregulate and get control of your physical reaction. If you have any sort of medical condition affecting your ability to exert yourself, please consult a doctor and use your own judgement.
