Ah,
One of my favorites.
What is nervous system regulation?
Nervous system regulation is our body's ability to return us back to a balanced state after stress.
Life is always going to be stressful.
We will always feel anxiety,
Stress,
Overwhelm,
Fear from time to time.
Those things are never going away completely.
That's why the goal is to develop a nice ride back.
To regulation.
Back to feeling connected,
Back to feeling grounded.
Back to feeling like you're coming home to yourself.
We can support our nervous system in lots of ways.
Some favorite ones are meditation,
Movement,
Spending time in nature,
And a big one is being around people and things that make your nervous system feel safe.
And the more we practice returning to balance,
The more resilient our nervous systems become to keep bringing us back there.
It's not about staying calm all the time.
But it is about finding the route,
Getting familiar with it,
That route back home to you.
