The Bevan James Eyles Show, Episode 317 – What’s your ‘familiar place’?

The Bevan James Eyles Show - The Fitness Behaviour Podcast

When many people experience stress, they often resort to negative places or actions.

This means their response to stress has a detrimental impact on their lives.

Even though they might be aware of this, they continue to go to these places.

I refer to this as going to a 'familiar' place.

Here's how it works:

1. I’m feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and vulnerable.

2. I need to get away from this place within myself.

3. I go to a familiar place or engage in a familiar action to escape.

The problem is, if your 'familiar' place has a negative impact, you'll end up facing even more stress.

If this sounds like you, something needs to change.

I believe that nearly all of us need 'familiar' places in our lives; it's part of being human.

However, we need to develop ones that help us positively through tough times.

In this week’s podcast, I break down how familiar places work and how you can develop positive ones in your life.
