Kate Silverton Instagram – Mental health is not about never experiencing anxiety or stress … it’s about working with our nervous system when it’s in fight / flight.
It’s about finding ways to work WITH the symptoms of discomfort that will often arise within us when we are faced with challenge.
When we understand the science of our stress response – when we see it as a normal response to a situation our brain finds threatening .. we can work with it. We can harness the energy of our stress .. and learn to then let it go. It takes time, and practice – but when we teach our children to do it from an early age .. we do them a great service .. for this is where the roots of resilience grow x
TAG someone who might need to see / hear this today – especially your children
Tell them I am 53 and I can STILL sometimes feel overwhelmed by the discomfort of the symptoms when I am in fight/flight … but with practice and faith, I can also trust I will ‘come through’
Life is richer when we can embrace all that it brings .. teaching your child how to embrace their nervous system when it’s fired up and learn how to bring themselves back to calm is one of the biggest gifts you can give them – start by showing them this reel today ..
