¿Qué pasa realmente en tu cerebro cuando estás bajo estrés? | Mario Alonso Puig

Why do we feel threatened in situations that pose no real danger? Why does our body tense up, our mind freeze, and why do we struggle to think clearly? In this conversation with my dear friend Alberto, we delve into what happens in our nervous system when we experience moments of tension or fear. We talk about stress, anxiety, and how the body reacts—even without any objective danger—by activating automatic protective circuits. We also explore polyvagal theory, the role of the vagus nerve, and how, through certain daily practices, we can return to a state of greater calm and inner security. Understanding what happens to us not only provides relief, but also gives us tools. And, above all, it gives us back the power to respond with greater serenity and awareness. What do you do when you feel stress starting to take hold? Perhaps your approach to managing it can inspire someone else. I'll read your comments. 🌿 Download 3 free TRANSFORMATIVE MEDITATIONS to give yourself the gift of calm, care, and presence: https://marioalonsopuig.com/tres-medi...
