In a world where 75% of adults struggle with chronic stress, Dr. Aditi Nerurkar's "The 5 Resets" challenges our cultural obsession with "powering through" difficult times. This resilience myth-the belief that tolerating extreme discomfort demonstrates inner strength-has become deeply embedded in our culture, leading to what she calls "toxic resilience." We've confused healthy resilience with harmful endurance, creating a cycle where we ignore boundaries, prioritize productivity above all else, and maintain a mind-over-matter mindset that ultimately depletes us. True resilience isn't about pushing through at all costs. It's our innate biological ability to adapt, recover, and grow when facing challenges. The shame surrounding stress compounds our problems-we feel we should handle everything without help, leading to isolation. Yet stress is paradoxically our most common human experience while simultaneously making us feel completely alone. If you're in a room with thirty people, at least twenty-one are feeling stressed and burned out just like you. When calm, your prefrontal cortex (behind your forehead) manages daily decisions-planning, organizing, and decision-making. Under stress, control shifts to the amygdala-a bean-sized structure deep in your brain that focuses on survival and self-preservation. This activates the HPA axis-your body's main stress highway-triggering cortisol and adrenaline release. While this response served our ancestors escaping predators, today's "predators"-relationship conflicts, job expectations, bills-never let up, keeping your amygdala constantly activated. The good news? Stress originates in the hippocampus-the same area responsible for learning and memory. This connection reveals that stress is essentially a learned response that can be unlearned through neuroplasticity-your brain's remarkable ability to change and form new neural pathways through repeated behaviors.
