Dr. Josh PsyD | Burnout Exp....

You can feel yourself getting wound up.

You try to talk yourself down. And it doesn't work. That's not because you're bad at this. It's because your nervous system doesn't speak in words. It speaks in signals. Here's one your body actually recognizes: cold contact on your wrists or the base of your neck. Thirty seconds.

That's it.

You pull into the driveway and you can't move. Because the second you walk in, your life at home starts. The questions. The needs. The chaos. And your body is already bracing.

Try this before you walk in: drop your shoulders, slow your exhale, ask yourself one question. Am I activated, or am I grounded?

This is from a live training. Two questions.

That's all you need to start tracking your nervous system state.

Walk into a meeting. Walk through the door at home.

Ask yourself: am I activated, or am I grounded?

This is how you catced? dysregulation before it costs you. This is how you stop burning out without realizing it.

There's an unread email from your boss. Your heart is pounding. Your breath is shallow. Your stomach drops. That's not you being dramatic. Your nervous system runs a threat scan in 200 milliseconds and cannot tell the difference between a deadline and a predator. Same physiology. Different century.

You've tried slow breathing. Cold plunges. Shaking. Humming. And some of it worked. Some of it made things worse.

Here's why: there are two states your nervous system can be in, and they need opposite tools. Most people are using the wrong tool for the state they're in.

You're exhausted but your brain won't relax, shut off.

You can't sit still. You can't focus. And you can't figure out why you feel this way when nothing is actually wrong.

Here's the truth: your body is still carrying stress from last week.

Your nervous system hasn't caught up to your life yet.

You became the one everyone leans on. The one who handles it. The one who stays calm so everyone else can fall apart safely.

And somewhere along the way, your body forgot how to be held. This is what years of caring for everyone does to a nervous system that never gets to receive.

Replying to igillus system?

You can't think your way out o out of a nervous system in survival mode. The body doesn't speak that language. But there's one tool that gets through every time.

The physiological sigh. Two short Inhales. One long exhale. That's it.

You start the routine. The habit tracker.

The system. And by Thursday, you've dropped all of it. So you call yourself lazy.

The truth is your nervous system has been in survival mode for years, and survival mode cuts off everything that isn't keeping you alive right now. I go deeper on this in my free guide. 3

Cold plunge. Supplements. Sleep tracking. The 5am club. You're optimizing everything and still waking up tired.

Here's why: your nervous system can't tell the difference between optimizing your morning and getting through a hard day. Both feel like pressure.
