Next Step:

Your 90-Day Stress & Cortisol Focus

You chose to focus on stress and cortisol regulation over the next 90 days.

That tells me your body is asking for safety, not solutions.
Containment, not correction.
Support, not self-discipline.

What This Plan Is
(and What It’s Not)

This is not about eliminating stress.
It’s not about doing less at all costs.
It’s not about fixing your life.

This is a 90-day rhythm focused on helping your body feel safe enough to respond.

You are not weak for needing this.
You are wise for choosing it.

Your Core Rhythms for the Next 90 Days

These rhythms stay the same.
The Lab content will support them... not replace them.
These rhythms stay simple and repeatable.

Faith & Foundations

You were never meant to carry everything alone.

Scripture focus:
“Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you.” (Psalm 55:22)

Support begins with release.

Nourish & Balance

Under-fueling increases cortisol.

Regular meals with adequate protein help:

• prevent stress-driven blood sugar swings

• reduce anxious energy

• support calmer decision-making

Restriction adds stress.
Consistency reduces it.

Move & Restore

Movement here is about calming the nervous system.

Walking, stretching, and rest help your body:

• shift out of fight-or-flight

• recover more efficiently

• feel safe enough to release stored energy

Exhaustion is not a requirement.

Support & Metabolic Health

Cortisol influences:

• blood sugar

• thyroid signaling

• hormone balance

• weight responsiveness

When cortisol stays high, the body stays guarded.

Lowering stress lowers resistance.

Your 90-Day Posture

For the next 90 days:

• You are choosing calm over urgency

• You are supporting instead of overriding

• You are allowed to slow down

• You are not trying to prove anything

Safety precedes change.

How to Use the Lab With This Focus

Use the Lab as a place of grounding.

• One lesson at a time

• One rhythm at a time

• Return to calm often

If something increases pressure, it’s not required.

A Gentle Reminder Before You Go

A stressed body isn’t broken.
It’s protecting you.

For the next 90 days, you’re teaching your body it no longer has to brace.

That’s meaningful work.
