‘Survival mode’ and ways to fix it

‘Survival mode’ and ways to fix it

February 16, 20251 min read

They tell us to prioritise our peace but so many of us have no idea how to do it and even why.

👉Feeling constantly on edge, overthinking, or having a hard time relaxing—even when things are fine is not good for anyone.

But there is more to it, when we are constantly stressed and worried, it's like running a car engine on the red - it's also called living in “survival mode’

📌Survival mode is when you're functioning on autopilot, focusing only on immediate needs and reacting to stress, often feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from long-term goals or well-being. 

👉It's a state where you're just trying to get through the day, rather than thriving or planning ahead.

Many of us don't know how to do it better. But there is good news - We can! 

As with everything else, it starts with awareness. When we realise we are living in survival mode’, we can learn simple steps to guide ourselves back to peace, balance and life on purpose, not out of control. 

🏆It starts with prioritizing peace and learning to say no politely without feeling guilty or worrying about being disliked. 

Prioritizing peace doesn't mean avoiding life. It means building sustainable, long-term success, where your inner peace helps you navigate challenges with calmness, resilience and clarity.
