When our nervous system is dysregulated, it negatively affects how we think, feel, and act. A dysregulated nervous system makes it harder to focus, make plans, take risks, or stay consistent with long-term goals, which are important when it comes to building wealth.
Chronic stress and trauma can also make it tough to connect with others, and relationships are a big part of finding opportunities or support.
On top of that, living in poverty or dealing with financial stress can keep the nervous system stuck in survival mode, which makes everything harder.
Stress makes it hard to get ahead, and not getting ahead keeps the stress going.
To break that cycle, wr have to tackle both the stress in our body and the bigger systems that make life harder for people in poverty. 💔
It really is a vicious cycle! I fell into a similar downward spiral due to chronic migraines – they made me more isolated, less happy, more isolated, less happy… but you can climb back out again. Important post – thank you, Linda xx
