  • Creative Status is a podcast about using creativity as a vehicle for improving your life by deconstructing ego, integrating the shadow self, and designing and manifesting a real life through the power of TRUST. Every episode explores how the creative process can help you GROW REAL by moving towards wholeness in yourself by making the unconscious conscious. Every episode explores how the creative process can help you GROW REAL by moving towards wholeness in yourself by making the unconscious conscious. In this episode, we delve into the concept of sympathetic dominance and its impact on our nervous system and overall well-being. We explore how an imbalanced nervous system can prevent us from achieving wholeness and trust in life. Understanding Sympathetic Dominance: We begin with an overview of the nervous system, focusing on the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. We discuss how sympathetic dominance—where the fight or flight response is overly active—can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and various physical symptoms. Three Main Sources of Tension: This episode breaks down three primary sources of tension that contribute to sympathetic dominance: 1. Physical Tension: Often caused by sedentary lifestyles and poor posture, physical tension can be alleviated through practices like foam rolling, yin yoga, and breathwork. Techniques such as 4-7-8 breathing and box breathing are highlighted as effective methods for releasing physical tension and regulating the nervous system. 2. Mental Tension: Rooted in our belief systems and the choices we make, mental tension arises from living out of alignment with the truth. By constantly questioning our assumptions and aligning our beliefs with reality, we can reduce mental stress and live more authentically. 3. Emotional Tension: Unresolved emotions like shame, guilt, and trauma contribute to emotional tension. Facing these emotions head-on and integrating the shadow self can help release this tension, leading to a more balanced and whole existence. Creative Status: Sympathetic Dominance Join me in this episode as we explore the sources of tension that lead to sympathetic dominance and how to address them. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to regulate their nervous system and move towards a more relaxed, authentic, and real life.
