Fight or Flight: Signs Your Body Is Stuck in Survival Mode (and How to Get Out)
Ayurdoré Guide · 2 min read
Loss of libido. Weight gain around the belly and face. Thinning hair. Anger. Anxiety. Waking up at 2 AM.
If you recognize yourself in several of these signs, your body is stuck in fight or flight mode. And what you are about to discover might change everything for you.
01 · The Ritual
Getting your body out of survival mode
Not a miracle solution overnight. A ritual, to be repeated, morning and evening. Hang in there, there's one particular step you absolutely must not skip.
🌞
Morning
01 30 minutes without your phone. Start with gratitude: your bed, your surroundings, being alive, the air in your lungs, a peaceful place. Then visualize your day, feel the joy as if it were already your reality.
02 A breakfast that doesn't trigger your cortisol. Sugar or coffee on an empty stomach send an additional spike to your cortisol. A glass of moringa, lemon, and honey: energy, without the brutal kick of coffee.
03 If you can't do without coffee: never on an empty stomach, a large glass of water beforehand, only one cup before noon, accompanied by some fat or protein. Every other day, alternate with matcha, tulsi, or chicory coffee.
04 Move your body. At least 3 to 4 workout sessions per week.
🌙
Evening
01 An hour for yourself. Phone off, placed in another room. Wi-Fi off. Warm, subdued lighting.
02 A warm shower, soft light. Candle if you wish, always with caution.
03 After your shower, as you get into bed, drink a glass of ashwagandha. You'll quickly understand why, just below. But trust me on this: this small gesture will help you succeed at what I'm about to ask you to do next.
04 30 minutes of breathing. Eyes closed, inhale by expanding your belly, exhale by drawing it in, pause between the two. Observe your thoughts passing without holding onto them, then return to your breathing.
05 Golden light, then pink. Visualize a golden light dissolving insecurity, anger, fear, doubt, everything holding you back. Smile, imagine a pink light entering your heart, then a beautiful reality, and fall asleep to it.
