CHAPTER 4
Time to Build Balance
IF youâve ever read about stress or anxiety, youâve probably heard about the fight-or-flight response of the sympathetic nervous systemâthat prehistoric kick of adrenaline that energized us when cornered by a saber-toothed tiger or enemy tribe. We need that kind of massive adrenaline rush far less these days, violent threats being mercifully diminished in our modern society. But overthinkersâ autonomic nervous systems havenât gotten that memo for some reason, so we are often flooded with hormones as if weâre in serious danger when we really are just trying to get ready for a work meeting or deciding whether or not to attend a party.
One way to ratchet down the kill-or-be-killed feeling is to amplify the less discussed but equally important ârest-and-digestâ parasympathetic nervous system. This is the system that tells the fight-or-flight response to chill out, and itâs the one that overthinkers need to nurture and empower. This chapter is all about techniques for doing that, like visualization, controlled deep breathing, and mindful walking. By paying more attention to your rest-and-digest functions, you will start to rein in full fight-or-flight and begin to build balance, slowly but surely.
