Stress inoculation is about uh training our bodies to be
OK, feeling a little bit of, of that
physiologic arousal at times where we are in control.
So for example, the Navy Seals will do a
lot of stress inoculation where they'll practice going into uh
war zones that are, that are all uh of
their own making where they're, you know, these
training scenarios where they can practice inoculating themselves with what
it feels like to have their adrenaline rush and what
it feels like to have their, you know,
their thoughts start to ask, oh, what if
, what if, what if, what if so
they can learn to be with those moments and learn
to work with those so that they know when the
real thing comes, they will, they will have
the skills to be able to work with them.
So the the real connection between stress inoculation and physical
challenge is that when we get stressed, when we
have this physiologic arousal, we start to feel our
heart racing, we start to breathe fast naturally.
You know, we have all of these physiologic changes
that happen that basically put us into this fight or
flight mode And so the the physicality of that is
really a manifestation of, of this stress saying,
hey, you know, there could be danger out
there, you need to be ready to run or 00:01:19.659 --> fight.
