Break Your Stress Reaction
For Christmas this year I got a new Apple Watch.
My old one was basically on its last legs, so it felt like a practical upgrade.
Once I had it set up, I decided to download a stress-tracking app.
Partly out of curiosity.
Partly because I spend so much time teaching about calming the nervous system and reducing stress.
And partly because we’ve got Break the Stress Reaction coming up in January.
If I’m honest, I expected it to confirm what I felt, that I’m fairly calm these days.
Instead, it showed me something different.
According to the measurements it uses, my stress levels are still quite high.
Now, I know these apps work off averages and baselines, and everyone is different. I’m not taking it as a diagnosis or a hard truth. But it did make me pause.
What it highlighted to me is that after years of trauma, chronic stress, and pushing through discomfort, my body has learned to treat a stressed state as “normal.”
What I experience as calm is still activated compared to a more regulated baseline.
That was actually really useful information.
Not in a “something is wrong with me” way.
More in a “there’s another layer here” way.
It’s given me a new focus for the January challenge. Not just teaching stress regulation, but continuing to deepen it in myself too. And it’s made me curious about what 2026 could look like if my everyday baseline becomes genuinely lower and steadier.
Not just coping.
Not just functioning.
But truly less activated day to day.
So now I am considering what would it feel like if my body didn’t have to stay slightly on edge all the time? Could my calm get even calmer?
