For your health's sake: give yourself permission!
Have you ever considered the health benefits of being unapologetically yourself?
In this Thursday Thread episode, we pull out a little thread from Dr. Cindy's episode to talk about how giving yourself permission to live fully and authentically in alignment with yourself is the BEST thing you can do for yourself, down to your actual health.
When your thoughts and beliefs are not congruent with your actions and behavior, your body goes into self-protection mode. Your sympathetic nervous system gets activated. It signals to the brain that there is something wrong – there's danger! So, your brain pumps cortisol to help you jump into action and fix whatever is wrong. A constant natural drip of cortisol causes longterm inflammation and a host of medical problems.
Alternatively, when you are in full alignment and joy - fully living your truth, your parasympathetic is activated. This is where you rest, you digest, and you heal. It's where you are your most creative!
When you are you in your most aligned way, and when you write yourself a permission slip to be YOU, you get to hand out permission slips to other people so they can do the same. How cool is that?!
You are healing the world by being you.
Granting yourself the freedom to live authentically is not merely a path to personal fulfillment, but an actual cornerstone of holistic health. As we discuss the power of writing a 'prescription to be yourself,' you'll discover the surprising connections between authenticity, reduced stress, and a lowered risk of inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Embrace the idea that nurturing your true desires and needs is not an indulgence, but a vital component of creativity, productivity, and overall wellness.
As we always do on Thursdays, this episode ends with a moment to breathe together.
