If you are experiencing a rough patch in your life where the difficulties seem relentless and insurmountable, know that you are not alone. Life is problematic. We all get caught in a stress loop at some point in our lives. We want to feel less stressed and more alive but most of us aren’t taught how to digest our stressful emotions properly and end up stuck on the hamster wheel. Being in a relaxed and energized mind and body is the experience of self-regulation.
