Final Thoughts: Mastering the Four Responses

Stress responses are like our body’s way of coping, but if they’re stuck on repeat, it can mess with our well-being.

• Fight: Channel it into setting healthy boundaries and being a strong leader.

• Flight: Redirect it into exploring and moving around.

• Freeze: Turn it into taking a break and getting some deep thoughts.

• Fawn: Balance it with self-love and setting personal limits.

By understanding and changing how we react to stress, we can heal our nervous system, build emotional strength, and live a balanced and empowered life.
