And, after 12 months of chronic sleep deprivation and a few major life stressors/crises, you could definitely justify that this was “normal” for me. Sure, that certainly is a common experience for a new mother and could be deemed “normal”. Now some might say that is just normal for a new mother. Has she stopped breathing….heart races and you feel fearful and anxious. Joy experienced, immediately followed by that sense of doom. Like you look at your beautiful child sleeping, feel a sense of pure love and peace and the immediate next thought and feeling is what is going to go wrong? She’s going to die in her sleep. I lived in a state of fear and anxiety, I certainly couldn’t make a logical decision, I definitely couldn’t remember anything and any joy experienced was what Brene Brown terms “foreboding joy”. This is how I felt for some time after the birth of my first child. In other words, the brain becomes incoherent. It is much harder to remember things and it is certainly much harder to communicate effectively, rationally and calmly.
We also know that when the brain is stressed, when it is overwhelmed, when there is chaotic thinking, it is much harder to make rational and logical decisions. We know that elevated emotions such as joy, compassion, love and appreciation feel much better and usually encourage more productive, caring and stress free lives. Whereas, emotions of anger, frustration, hate and lack, produce states of mind that feel much worse and produce more stress and unkind behaviours, to both ourselves and others.
This information is very new in terms of our current evidence based medical paradigms, however, it is ancient wisdom in terms of what we intuitively and historically know about human function and behaviour.
