How to turn off "fight or flight" response

[nattycel]

I'm always in this state of perceived danger even if there is clearly no reason to be.

Sometimes I wake up with my heart racing aswel. How do I turn it off?

Where is the button? Why didn't God give us the user manual for our bodies?

Stoic mindset. Slowly over time your calmness within will reflect on your outside self

If u really wanna know here’s what I did.

I used to get angry, sad, voice my opinion and act like a normie in a sense. The only thing is that if u let ur emotions control u, u can’t succeed ( that’s what I have noticed).

So the next time u get angry, like say somebody says some dumb shit about u. Think wether or not it affects u in the Long run. Stop putting stress on things which hold no value. Slowly slowly over time u will naturally learn to act like u don’t give a shit.

The reason u can’t turn it on immediately is cuz u ain’t used to acting like it. So take baby steps and learn from every interaction you can bro

You can't. It's evolutionary and exists for a reason

Taking benzos turns it off
