I used to have trouble sleeping. I would wake up about 2:00 a.m. every night and toss and turn and stay awake for 3 or 4 hours. I couldn't get the stress over-drive to slow down. I didn't know I was experiencing excess cortisol that had been released in my bloodstream because of all the different 21st century stressors going on in my normal day-to-day: too much blue light through device use, work deadlines, too much multitasking switching gears looking at different tabs on browsers, too many phone calls texts notifications, not to mention the actual stressors like stuff going on in relationships or finances or Ministry situations or you name it that are just the real stressors that make stress.
Turns out that excess cortisol damaged my adrenal glands , my thyroid , and wreaked havoc on my immune system, creating a situation where it's actually attacking my own thyroid and damaging my endocrine system.
I tried lots of things because I am a strong believer in holistic health modalities, but until I found what I'm using now I still wasn't able to sleep a solid night. Now I sleep so much better! Beyond that I have a new level of calm in my waking hours and an ability to focus that I didn't have in the frenzy before. Life is still happening at a pretty fast pace and I still have to use all the devices to make it happen, but I've shifted in how I do that and it's making a huge difference!
If this resonates with you, and you can relate to a need for RESET from the cortisol frenzy and all of the stress your body has been subjected to for years on end like mine was, I'm happy to share what I'm doing, because I believe it can make a difference for you too. Say RESET in the comments and I will be in touch!
