During my recovery I read everything on stress and burnout I could find and tried every new technique. I approached each doctor’s appointment as if it were a courtroom trial.
But real progress began when I let go of the pressure to heal on a specific timeline. Putting pressure on yourself keeps your brain on high alert, which worsens symptoms. By lowering those demands, you reduce that state of alertness, which in turn reduces symptoms.
Key takeaways
- Pressure puts the brain in high alert which make everything worse.
- Taking the pressure off will ease the symptoms.
- Hyper vigilance is making you more sensitive for symptoms.
- Caring less about setbacks will ease the symptoms
- Nothing in life is linier, nor is healing.
- Use refraiming to lower your own demands.
