Powerful Mini Relaxations Can Bring Your Nervous System Back Into Balance
With Juna Bobby MD, EdMThe great news is that we can counter these tiny stressors that build up throughout our day with mini relaxation responses that can consist of even just one breath! In this course, you'll learn what micro stress is and how it can ripple into many areas of our lives. We will walk through mini relaxation responses and how to counteract the micro stressors in our lives to slow down the build-up to toxic disease states. We'll walk through some of my favorite mini relaxation antidotes that you can use throughout your day to boost your natural antioxidants. You'll leave with solid scientific reasons that motivate you to incorporate Mini Relaxations throughout your days. This tiny shift in mindset can improve your entire life and prolong your health span, not just your lifespan. Healthspan is the amount of time you spend alive and healthy; lifespan is the total amount of time we are alive. In our modern times, we have a longer lifespan but we spend our last decades and sometimes more in ill health. The purpose of this course is for you to take away the practice of taking mini moments of relaxation anywhere, anytime, and deeply knowing that even one breath can help reset your nervous system, profoundly affecting your life, your loved ones' lives, and rippling out into the world through all those you come in contact.
Micro-stresses build up and over time they can result in serious diseases of the mind and body. Learn how simple Mini Relaxations can counteract these everyday stressors we all encounter throughout our lives.
