Fight or Flight
An emergency reaction in which the body prepares for combat or escape from potentially dangerous situations, animals, or people.
some steps we can take to move out of fight or flight and into loving actions are:
1. notice the physical sensations within your body that let you know when you are anxious or afraid.
2. breathe
3. you would not be in fight or flight without being in fear. Ask yourself (or your friend) what you are afraid of and explore it.
4. do something fun or nurturing for yourself
5. examine the process of thinking, put negative thoughts and assumptions based on stress and fear into a positive phrase, and say it out loud or write it down.
6. Be like the squirrel.
