From Survival Mode to Skilful Living: Reinterpreting the Effects of Pressure

Reflecting on my experiences managing massive crowds at the Glastonbury Festival, I've realised it's a perfect parallel to how we often react to everyday pressures. In emergency situations, we instinctively activate survival mode - remaining calm, clear-minded, and able to act quickly. But when this same system is applied to daily tasks, we can end up feeling overwhelmed, locked into rigid thinking patterns. Could there be a different way to navigate the pressures of daily life? 

Tune in as we delve into the effects of pressure on our mental and physical health and how we might transition from mind-based living to a more skilful way of managing pressure.
