Nervous system regulation: the first step to building stress resilience

With all that’s going on in the world, I felt compelled to share some ways we can build resilience to stress & more importantly begin to regulate & calm our nervous system. As a whole, we collectively co-regulate & so what you do for your nervous system will help you as it will the whole collective

🌀The Vagus nerve is the main nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system that allows us to rest/digest, & responsible for helping your body to return to a state of balance. it innervates or communicates with the brain, gut and other organs

🌀vagal tone exercises helps us strengthen that nerve so that we can regulate, calm our nervous system, improve our response & resilience to stress, emotions or triggers.

🌀The vagal tone literally sets the tone with how we respond and recover from stress.

🌀causes of poor or low vagal tone is from: chronic stress, trauma, brain injury, toxicity and more. so we want high vagal tone to better regulate or calm our nervous system, which relaxes & de stresses us, and we can get that by: simply extending the duration of our phrases, singing, humming, chanting, deep belly breathing where our exhale is longer than our inhale, playing a wind instrument even and meditation.

🦋Nervous system regulation is a core element in our 8-week immersive online group coaching program, “Coming Back Home to Self,” and the 1:1 coaching I offer, as it provides a sustainable foundation from which we can access empowering resources & overcome burnout, trauma and toxic cycles and dissatisfaction in life.🦋

-overwhelming workload
-[perceived] lack of control
-insufficient rewards
-lack of social support/poor sense of community
