Amid today's "foot in mouth" epidemic, it's crucial to address an emerging issue: NEWS APNEA. This term, which I first encountered a decade ago as EMAIL APNEA in an article by Linda Stone, refers to the tendency to hold our breath while awaiting "charged" emails, text messages, or updates from our devices. We often find ourselves tensing up when technology doesn't move quickly enough or delivers unwelcome messages.
This reaction isn't limited to technology alone. It also occurs when we're exposed to distressing news, leading to what I call NEWS APNEA. When this happens, our bodies release stress chemicals like norepinephrine and testosterone, making it difficult to think clearly and communicate effectively. Our emotions can spiral out of control, leading to physical tension and difficulty relaxing. This often results in behaviors like binge-watching Netflix, overeating, over-drinking, over-medicating, overspending, and poor sleep.
I've created a video to help you navigate these challenges and regain your center. Watch it below to learn practical strategies for overcoming NEWS APNEA.
In addition to the video, I offer a variety of tools to help you stay calm, focused, and achieve greater happiness and success. Work with me privately or in a group, explore my audio downloads and magical aromatherapy sprays, which I use in my personal rituals. Many of these sprays are crafted from ancient aromatherapy recipes I've discovered in my travels.
Take control of your stress and enhance your well-being today.
Stay strong and take care of yourself!
