I have to be totally honest.
I had never heard of this concept until about a month ago.
My mind was blown. Still is...

Once I heard it, everything seemed to fall into place.

Life got much easier and more fun.

We have the two states of consciousness...
Relaxed Expansion (parasympathetic- rest, digest, repair, reproduce)
Tensed Contraction (sympathetic - fight, flight, freeze, fawn)

We can only be in one at a time.

How can you tell which you are in?

Simple... how do you feel?

Are you happy, joyful, appreciative?
Then you are in the Relaxed Expansion/ parasympathetic

Are you stressed, angry, anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated?
Then you are in the Tensed Contracted/ sympathetic

It's that simple.

What's even more amazing?

You can consciously choose how you want to feel.
In each moment, you have the power of choice.

Do I want to feel good or do I want to feel bad?

You get to decide...
