Your nervous system loves movement.

That’s because the role of your nervous system is to determine if you are safe (parasympathetic, rest-and-digest mode) or in danger (sympathetic, fight-or-flight mode).

Gentle movements signal the nervous system that you are safe, activating the vagus nerve and a parasympathetic state.

Some of the best types of movement for this include:

☀️ Yoga

☀️ Stretching

☀️ Dancing

☀️ Walking in Nature

There are really 2 different ways to use movement to regulate your nervous system. You can use it in the moment as a reset OR include movement as part of your everyday maintenance routine.

I recommend both!
