Chaos is part of the package. But there is a massive difference between moving through the chaos and living in a constant state of survival mode which, let’s face it, is just a one-way ticket to burnout. IAs an integrative health coach, I see this slide happen all the time. We often think self-care has to be this grand, expensive event. And don’t get me wrong, a monthly massage is lovely, but what are you doing for your nervous system...]]></description><link>https://www.maikaprevosti.com/post/can-you-relax-into-the-chaos</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b9aa883219c844499353e4</guid><category><![CDATA[Principles]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 17 Mar 2026 19:32:07 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b506b7_eb959943d91147a7be14eb204d0de4cc~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator></dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[It’s More Than Just Stress.
