High cortisol is aging you faster than cigarettes or vapes.
Wrinkles, sleep loss, poor recovery, low libido.
Here are 7 natural ways to reduce high cortisol and stay young:
1. Saunas.
A Stanford neuroscientist warns high cortisol wrecks memory, enlarges your fear center, and make your brain feel broken.
If I wanted to fix it naturally, I'd do these 8 things every day:
1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.
Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.
I urge you to study Ezekiel 37:1-14. You will understand the importance of speaking into your life. You can literally recreate your future with the words you speak, especially when you declare the Word of God over any circumstances.
I charge you to start speaking to your finances, your marriage, your job, and declare your expectations over all that concerns you. Watch what will happen!
The older I get, the more I realize making memories with family, a solid fitness routine, a job you don't hate, a group chat of great friends, annual traditions, and a productive hobby will lead to a very happy life.
@TheWabiSabiLife The fact that they kept booing the whole time is a good sign. This younger generation is fearless and that’s the energy that is needed to finally break this corrupt system.
Your children always wanting to be in your room, in your space, or just near you is really a sign that they feel safe with you. They love your presence, your energy, and the comfort of home you created for them. That’s not something to take lightly. Job well done.
You only get:
a few years of them crawling into your bed
a few years of them running to the door when you come home
a few years of them asking for one more chapter
a few years of them needing your help
so read the book one more time,
push the mower together,
lie in bed until they fall asleep,
stay for the slow morning
because the days of being needed this completely
do not last forever.
Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn't misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn't agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They're not broken. They're calibrated differently. They don't avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it's deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn't mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That's not antisocial behavior. That's emotional intelligence.
“Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on earth, for what they believe is what they will become.”
