00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:15,401
Speaker 1: Appoche production. Hi, I'm Jennifer Crai. Welcome to your evening mantra.

2
00:00:17,841 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or

3
00:00:22,361 --> 00:00:32,001
Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax

4
00:00:32,081 --> 00:00:40,961
Speaker 1: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention

5
00:00:42,161 --> 00:00:53,441
Speaker 1: to your breath, drawing your breath down into your belly.

6
00:00:56,481 --> 00:01:09,241
Speaker 1: Stress this information your body designed to respond to stress.

7
00:01:12,801 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: The normal response puts adrenaline into your body so that

8
00:01:19,681 --> 00:01:30,161
Speaker 1: you can deal with the danger. Like the gazelle who

9
00:01:30,241 --> 00:01:35,121
Speaker 1: shares the feeding planes with the dress the zebros and

10
00:01:35,161 --> 00:01:42,121
Speaker 1: the lions, the gazelle goes about its merry business, drinking

11
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:51,761
Speaker 1: water and eating grass within eyesight of the predators. It's

12
00:01:51,801 --> 00:01:57,161
Speaker 1: only when the predator gets hungry that the stress response

13
00:01:57,281 --> 00:02:06,161
Speaker 1: kicks in and the gazelle either runs, freezes, or fights

14
00:02:07,441 --> 00:02:14,601
Speaker 1: to save its life. Once the lion has its kill,

15
00:02:15,441 --> 00:02:21,281
Speaker 1: it's safe again, and the gazelle immediately returns to eating

16
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:28,601
Speaker 1: and drinking, even within distance of the lion. Such is

17
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:36,961
Speaker 1: the stress response. You can't rid of stress, and nor

18
00:02:37,321 --> 00:02:43,921
Speaker 1: do you want to. It's valuable information to listen to

19
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:55,081
Speaker 1: and then act upon if required. Today's mantra Stress is

20
00:02:55,161 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: information repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind.

21
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:12,721
Speaker 1: Stress as information. Follow us on Instagram at your morning
