Stop Living So Defensively, It’s Exhausting!

We live defensively in an attempt to protect ourselves. There is certainly a time and place to be on the defense but we are not meant to live in that state moment to moment. It truly is exhausting and it limits our ability to connect well with life, others, and even with ourselves. We are living through an extremely chaotic time and in some cases, things may feel quite dangerous even, but we are not living in danger moment to moment. If you are reading this right now, then you are OK. Be sure to note the moments when you really are OK, when you aren’t in imminent danger. Imminent danger is rare. When there is imminent danger, you can trust your physical and psychological system to respond appropriately. You don’t have to be on guard at every moment. You don’t have to be in a defensive mode all day long. Relax from moment to moment as you can. Do take note of what is going right and when you are safe. I think you’ll see that you are safe in far more moments than not. Take a listen to this video.
