Charlie, Thank you for sharing your story. So much of it resonates with me. The chronic striving in every aspect of life to feel like you are "Enough"/Worthy.
Your use of the word perception with stress clicked for me. I now have a new tool to help me when the stress and anxiety do creep in.
Hey Stacy, thank you for reading! Yes, getting to the root of the “enoughness” saga has been pretty fun for me - type 2 fun, but worth it nevertheless 🙂 Glad it resonated with you and that you took something practical from it.
Reading this article (feel I need to reread it a few times to digest it in its entirety) what struck me is perception of stress is enough to cause a stress response. 🤯 reminds me of those times where believing/imagining something is just as bad as literally experiencing it - and can see how that has played a big part in my own mental health.
Caroline! Absolutely, the perception part is the most interesting to me too and also the most exciting. Good news is that perception is way more malleable than we’re initially led to suppose…
