Understanding Survival Mode: Your life depends on it
Janet Namdari • March 14, 2025

Your life depends on it.


One thing’s for sure and usually obvious to the person who is stuck in survival mode…


There’s not a lot of JOY being felt.


Likely, there’s also not a lot of hope or a sense of overall satisfaction in their life, either. 


When we’re stuck in survival mode, it’s an indicator of where we’re at in our Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). 


Typically, it’s that we’re hanging out a lot in the fight/flight zone.


We’re operating on auto pilot moving from one task to the next…


We may find ourselves in an oppositional space (fight).


And/or we may be trying to get away from something (flight).


When we find ourselves hanging out in this zone (and it’s not that we’re experiencing a true/real emergency and need to fight/flee for our safety), it means we’re experiencing emotional dysregulation


Simply put, we're not hanging out much (if at all) in the ventral vagal/parasympathetic zone of our ANS...


That is, we're generally not feeling settled, hopeful, grounded, calm, joyful, rested, connected to others, and/or healthy, etc., etc. (the list goes on)


The COST: feeling anxious, fearful, worried, panicked, irritated, and/or rage. Decreased immune response, digestion, oxygen to vital organs, etc. Increased blood pressure/heart rate and blood clotting. 


The GOAL: to move out of dysregulation and into emotional regulation.


One of my responsibilities as a personal coach is to help clients move from living in survival mode to living life in a more emotionally regulated state…


So that they can experience more joy, hope, health, vitality…and an overall feeling of satisfaction in their lives.

THAT moment in time. When you have THAT realization. Know what I mean? You know, the kind of realization that literally changes the direction of your life’s course. It’s that moment when you realize what is isn’t what you want anymore. It’s not a wishy-washy realization. It’s the real deal. And when you have THAT kind of moment, you KNOW there’s no going back. In a good way. In a REALLY good, transformational kind of way. The kind of way that quite literally propels you in the direction of healing and growth and JOY. It’s this kind of moment that clients of mine have before they reach out to me… And there’s no looking back once they’ve begun their series of sessions with me… Because what was is no longer… The direction of their course already reimagined and redesigned. Relationship dynamics shift in profound ways. Dynamics within themselves, partners, children, etc. And most importantly, my clients FEEL BETTER than they did before. In the long-lasting kind of way. And all it takes is THAT moment in time when you decide what has been is not working for you anymore. Then you call in your tribe. This is where I enter your life with INCREDIBLE support including personalized coaching and a program that may just leave you wondering why you didn’t do it all sooner. With loving-kindness, Janet ♥️

A personal example of knowing that I'm on the right track
By Janet Namdari June 30, 2026
Have you been feeling the pull to do less and slow down? And yet you still find yourself 'pushing through'? You're not alone. It seems this is a widespread phenomena amongst those with various backgrounds and roles. Our minds are continuously telling us to keep going with the doing and seeking... Even when we feel exhausted and can barely put one foot in front of the other. We reach for our phones to keep the busy going when there are 'breaks.' It's as if we are constantly avoiding something... It's almost like we're afraid to be still and just BE. We may, logically, know the value of honoring what our body/mind needs, yet we keep choosing the opposite, as if we aren't in control. And in this society that we live in, pausing and slowing down can seem unavailable - even impossible - and certainly undervalued. Enter intention and discipline. You see, If we want to experience more well-being and quality in our lives and in our relationships, we must be disciplined about self-care. We must be clear about our intentions to honor ourselves and our needs. This means getting specific . It means creating and sticking to a plan. And setting boundaries to protect the plan. I realize this may sound daunting and maybe even impossible... And this is where I come into the picture... I help people like you slow down by providing a container where intention is born and needs are uncovered so that a plan can be created to assist with honoring yourself and where you're at in your life. And you then you begin to experience the freedom to be the living, breathing, tuned-in and tapped-in being you were intended to be. Ready to get the support you need to honor yourself?
