We'll also discuss how sitting for extended periods can lead to some striking issues like metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, weakened muscles, mental health challenges, and more.

Expectations
Expectations shape how we experience the world---but they can also be a trap, leading to stress and suffering when reality doesn't match our hopes. So, how do we manage them in a way that helps rather than hinders us?
On this episode of Building Resilience, we'll talk about the double-edged nature of expectations. You'll hear why expectations are essential for setting goals and boundaries, and how they can even build excitement for future events, helping us get even more enjoyment out of them.

The Emotional Bank Account
Ever felt like relationships can sometimes leave you emotionally drained or uplifted without understanding why? There's a subtle but powerful concept that might just hold the key to balancing these interactions---much like a real bank account, your emotional bank account determines the quality of your connections.
On this episode of Building Resilience, I dive into the idea of the emotional bank account. This metaphor unpacks how everyday words, actions, and behaviors can either deposit or withdraw. Plus, I explore how the emotional bank account ties into your nervous system, helping you regulate stress and build resilience.
