[360] - You’re Not Fine. You’re Distracted

Text me what you thought of the show 😊"Lifing" teaches us "keep moving, keep coping, and keep distracting" ourselves until the body finally forces a pause. I share a raw story from the pool that reveals how breath, rhythm, and silence can unlock real nervous system recovery for first responders and anyone under chronic stress. • a personal moment where emotion rises without warning during a quiet swim • how CO2 tolerance training and slower breathing support stress regulation • why “breakdown” can be the body processing stored trauma • the cost of constant input through phones, scrolling, TV, and noise • how rhythmic movement and longer exhales shift the autonomic nervous system • practical steps to create undistracted time and real space each day • why nasal breathing matters and why mouth breathing keeps you amped up • embracing discomfort and letting emotion move through without overthinking • how breathwork provides a structured way to self-regulate without a pool If it landed for you, and if you know that you personally are carrying more than what you're actually dealing with, I beg you to reach out to me. If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe so you get notified whenever a new episode is released. It would also be ever so helpful if you could leave a rating and review on the app you're currently listening on. If you want to know more about breathwork,  about me or work with me, you can go to ahealthyshift.com. Support the show----------------------------Roger Sutherland is Australia's Night Shift & Sleep Specialist and the founder of A Healthy Shift.After more than 40 years working rotating shifts with Victoria Police, Roger now helps organisations reduce fatigue risk, improve staff wellbeing and build healthier, safer and higher-performing 24/7 workplaces through evidence-based education, circadian biology and the Shift Work Champions™ Framework.Shift Work Champions™: https://join.ahealthyshift.com/shift-work-capabilityWebsite: https://ahealthyshift.com.auLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-sutherlandInstagram: @a_healthy_shift___________________Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.  Always consult a physician before implementing any strategies mentioned in this podcast.
