When I say Turn Up what I really mean is to make you think about your attitude. For instance, when you approach a situation or a person, what attitude are your embodying and why is that important to health?

If you follow my blogs and video posts, you’ll know that I talk a lot about the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. In brief, this is the see-saw that subconsciously we engage or disengage (one engages and then releases the other) continuously in order to either a) preserve life/survive (high/intense impact) or b) recover, repair and regenerate (low/healing impact). Our bodies switch into these essentials nervous systems depending on what is happening around us and within us.

What we also know is how we think has a major affect on which nervous system is engaged for long prolonged periods of time.

Preparation in life usually means that we pre-plan easily, then circle the issues that may become problematic. As survival is our ultimate need, it’s pretty natural to get stuck in running scenarios over and over in our minds to work out possible solutions to fix them. However, when we go into the fight/flight/fright mode, it’s easy to get no further than visualising the problems and let our imaginations run wild embracing fear and worry.

These thought patterns can have a massive physical and chemical on your body.

By making a conscious decision (the conscious feeds the subconscious information) to turn up to each day of life happy and joyful, you stand down this fight-flight sympathetic response more easily. By practising this each and every day, for each and every situation you approach, you start to change your natural pattern and natural vibrant energy returns to the body systems. Your health will thank you for it.
