STRESS & SICKNESS: What My Body Is Asking For.

Heyyy there!❓ Ever noticed how you finally get sick after a stressful phase — even when things felt “good” or exciting?In this episode, I’m recording with a cold and reflecting on why my body needed a pause. Inspired by The Four Ways of Wellbeing by Nicola Elliott and an interview with Dr. Deepak Ravindran, I talk about the link between stress, the nervous system, and our immune response — and why the body doesn’t really distinguish between emotional and physical stress.This episode isn’t about pushing through or fixing yourself. It’s about understanding what stress does to the body, and gently coming back to the basics that matter most when we’re run down: sleep, gentle movement, and mind-body practices like Yoga Nidra.No expert advice — just my reflections, something I read, and a reminder to be a little kinder to yourself when your body asks you to slow down.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜Inspiration:📚 Nicola Elliott – The Four Ways of Wellbeing🩺 Dr. Deepak Ravindran – The Pain-Free Mindset
