Are you “just surviving” instead of truly living? In this episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy Meyer explores the powerful concept of survival mode—the body’s built-in stress response—and why so many of us get stuck there.
You’ll learn:
What survival mode really is and how it impacts your body, mind, and emotions
The difference between short-term survival mode and chronic survival mode
Signs you might be running on autopilot, hypervigilant, or emotionally checked out
Practical tools to regulate your body, restore balance, and start moving toward a thriving state
How awareness, self-care, boundaries, and connection can pull you out of survival and into flow
Survival mode isn’t a life sentence—it’s a message that something needs to change. Once you recognize it, you can begin to shift from just getting by to living with purpose, energy, and joy.
