You’ve been convinced that the more you can handle equates to more success. You’ve been sold the idea that the “I can do it” mentality is a superpower.
But over time, your body starts to communicate its discomfort with those choices. The nervous system controls the gut, the hormones, the thyroid, and the immune system.
Ninety percent of serotonin, the happiness hormone, is produced in the gut; 80% of our immune system is in the gut; and you better believe that the gut and hormones/thyroid are in constant communication.
Our body is ONE system and overstimulation/dysregulation in one area will affect other pathways.
So the next time you feel like overcommitting, whether it be your time, skills, or resources, be sure to ask yourself, “Is it worth it?”
Because the NEW superpower is a regulated nervous system.
