If there is no rest and digest, there is no originality

If there’s no rest and digest, there’s no originality

Our autonomic nervous system has this Fight, Flight, Freeze, rest and digest. So if we’re constantly in doing mode, there is no rest and digest. So if there’s no rest and digest, there’s no process. If there’s no rest and digest, there’s no originality. It’s impossible to have something that is truly your own.

And in Fight, Flight, Freeze, Please, to fawn, you are constantly reacting to the world, but you’re not responding to it. So what we want is a nervous system that has the ability for both to coexist and really the activism, it is a very radical thing to allow yourself to rest. Super radical.

We deal with the human body as if it’s a machine. So then you get the human body getting really, really tired, and then you get a whole load of people living up here because they can’t acknowledge what they’re experiencing and feeling, because if they did, they wouldn’t be able to do at the level that society is asking you to do.

So this empowerment part of coming into the cycle of your own rhythm is very, very important. It seems so simple and ordinary, but it is the ordinary that I’m interested in you realising is extraordinary.
