While I'm grateful for my physical results of strength I've never had and ability to do press up planks and next to no joint pain, it's my mental health results that I'm really noticing. So it says here that after 6 weeks of patching your brain becomes more balanced and depression, aggression and anxiety symptoms go down. That is what's happening to me. I'm 5 weeks in and I feel happy like those really annoying positive yaaaaay happy people. But it's actually genuine, I'm so much happier and everything seems really bright, fun and exciting.
Scientifically it's because the Aeon patch reduces cortisol which is the stress hormone and that's why it's called the happy patch. I've been saying to everyone on my now fully booked calls, what do you think happens when your stress level drops?
You feel a natural sense of wellness. That's what's there when the stress isn't.
I've had health coaching with my incredible coach Marijana Dragojevic and she said to me that all of my digestion and body issues were due to stress, which was a bitter pill to swallow, but it was true. So I got to work on lowering my stress levels and I came to realise that this thing was running the show and affecting everything most especially my cr@p choices.
So now that's all reversed, I feel like my mind and brain is bright, open and expanded if that makes sense. I feel like I am able to hold all of it, appreciate everything and not be trying to change people and their opinions in my head.
There is a mental health crisis going on and as to the causes it's pretty clear to see that the overstimulated environment has its part to play. While I as a mature adult can manage these external influences, for younger people and children I don't know.
I feel it's helpful to create a space for de-stimulation both in the external environment and also in the body.
So here's where this comes in, these patches have created a calm, less stress and brighter inner environment for me.
I feel more open, more firneldy, more kind and more expanded. I've been reaching out to people I haven't seen for years and it's been sooooooo wonderful, so lovely, so satisfying.
It's like that parable of that thing you've been looking for was there all along.
Can you just imagine what one day would be with less or little or NO stress? Even when it's you know how outside, but in your inner world, in your beautiful human imagination, can you imagine that being like the clear blue sky?
Infinite.
Clarity.
I call this a state of grace.
I live for this.
