TO HEAL AND FEEL ALIVE AGAIN
10Â WARNING SIGNS
 Your Body is Stuck in Stress Mode
You wake up tired and drag yourself through the day.
Stress builds faster than your ability to handle it.
Your mind races even when you sit still or try to sleep.
You numb out, procrastinate, or avoid what matters.
You snap at people you care about and regret it later.
Small things, like traffic, or kids running late, set you off.
You try meditation, apps, supplements... nothing sticks.
You say yes when you should say no, and no when you wish you could say yes.
You're absolutely drained at night and numb yourself with food and/or screens.
The holidays are coming and you feel dread instead of joy.
How can you expect to be truly happy, or really healthy, if your brain is stuck in a mode that literally prevents it?
Stop fighting the symptoms of your stress.
Feeling wired and tired, anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed is NOT a failure of willpower or a personality flaw.
It's a sign your brain is running an outdated operating system-stuck in Survival Mode (SM).
This neurochemical, evolutionary state is designed to protect you,
but it's lying to you about how it interprets your life and robbing you of joy.
That constant tension, the racing thoughts, the quick-to-anger fuse? They are not who you are.Â
They are the predictable programs of a brain that believes it's under threat.
But your life is not a threat (and if it is, this doesn't apply). Life is an opportunity.Â
Having laundry and dishes to do is not a threat, your kids running late out the door is not a threat, the traffic jam is not a threat, but every day you are re-acting to life as if it's threatening, and this is draining your batteries, causing wear and tear, and ruining your relationships.
Knowing this is not enough. Intellectual change is like "icing on shit cake."Â
The 10-Minute Upgrade That Changes Everything
The most effective path to a more meaningful, joyful life isn't intellectual understanding, years of therapy, or a mystical search—
it’s an immediate, practical system upgrade.
The Extra and Open Attention practice is a simple, science-backed shift that:
1. Turns OFF the Survival Mode alarm and stops the anxiety loop.
2. Activates the part of your brain built for healing, calm, and focus.
3. Gives you immediate, tangible relief you can feel today.
This is the missing ingredient that makes all your past efforts finally work.
Learn the practice that resets your stress system and helps your body feel safe again.
The Cost of Inaction
 As long as you stay stuck, your brain’s Survival Mode guarantees a predictable outcome—the loss of your best life:
You'll stay exhausted and overwhelmed, steadily losing your passion, purpose, and energy.
Your relationships will remain strained as you keep "snapping at loved ones" and feel disconnected.
Your efforts at "fixing" things will fail because you're addressing symptoms, not the root cause.
You risk long-term health issues and the profound regret of looking back at a life you weren't truly present for.
