How to Deal With and Respond to Stress
Manage episode 454856717 series 3623069
This text explores the concept of stress from an indigenous perspective. The author, a modern shaman, argues that stress is fundamentally a response to fear, but unlike the healthy stress response to a real threat, modern stress stems from perceived fears, anxieties, and worries about potential future events. Indigenous cultures, by contrast, maintain a natural unity with nature and time, allowing them to remain relaxed until a true threat emerges. The text emphasizes the importance of adopting indigenous practices, such as observing nature's wisdom and practicing non-judgment, to reduce unnecessary stress and cultivate a more peaceful mindset.
