📣 This is important. 📣
Your nervous system is constantly responding to inputs.
Sometimes those inputs are regulating—like listening to calming music or going for a walk in nature.
Sometimes those inputs are dysregulating—like being yelled at or seeing fear-based news in your feed.
There are really 2 ways to go about regulating your nervous system:
1️⃣ One way is in the moment: When you notice you are triggered, take a moment to step away and take some deep breaths.
2️⃣ The other way is daily practice: Make it part of your routine to send signals of safety to your nervous system.
Some practices you could choose to do are:
✨ Deep breathing (this is one of the best ways to activate the vagus nerve and reset the nervous system)
✨ Mindful movement (you can shake, stretch, dance, or do anything that releases tension from the body)
✨ Intentional rest (meaning rest on purpose—not only when you’re completely exhausted)
If you commit to just ONE of these things and make it part of your routine, I promise that your nervous system will thank you.
