Personally I've found the following:
1) No matter what work you do, whether you like it or not, work is inherently stressful for many people. A cop might love their job, it's still stressful.
2) But no matter how stressful work can be, people quickly forget that just LIVING IN A BODY, a physical, chemical body can be SO MUCH MORE
STRESSFUL than the work you do. If I was unhealthy again which I use to be a long time ago... I could NOT work or focus in that state. The way I
work now is unbelievable it is night & day.
3) You have to take your health, nutrition, vitamin levels, minerals, fat soluble vitamins, enzymes, supplements... SERIOUSLY. These things matter.
They can matter to you a lot over the long term if you test them to see what makes you just feel HEALTHY & GOOD.
4) You need to feel HEALTHY, GOOD, WELL RESTED, BLOOD PUMPING FROM EXERCISE & SMART DOSING of vitamins, minerals, etc this
pushes you into a "glowing" state of health. Where it actually feels physically good & enjoyable, rewarding to be in your own body & skin. Mood &
energy boosted & in such a balanced way. Your legs are warm & shooting endorphins, you're walking good, strong gait, no dizziness, blood pressure
or blood sugar problems. Your brain is hydrated & clear. Your heart is always calm. Your blood feels like good, natural drugs.
Enzymes, vitamins, minerals & targeted proteins can get most people in this state.
Once you hack your chemistry (biology), you can steamroll through high stress events & not feel a thing. Actually, you feel so good no matter what
you're doing, that doing anything just feels awesome. Because you feel awesome. Disrespecting chemistry is the fastest way to make yourself
feel not awesome. Never forget this.
Also, when you're well nourished your brain, heart, liver, everything just works so much better. Meaning higher ATP, higher acetyl-choline, higher
dopamine, toxins dumped from organs (you can chelate yourself with allithiamine & EDTA), higher serotonin & GABA... these things are powerful
chemical facilities that NEED NOURISHMENT they are DESIGNED by evolution to be MANIPULATED so you can >>>THRIVE.
Learning to test your biology against these agents can deliver you into a new life if you're willing to test lots of things over a few years.
It saved me in my late 20s. The amount of pain, joint aches, poor sleep, poor mood, poor erections, poor blood pressure... chemistry saved my
life.
Learn to manage your biology before it learns to manage you. By buying smart supplements. Or if you don't know shit about chemistry or biology
just find someone who does.
