Did you know that your triggers can have a huge impact on your nervous system?

The nervous system is an intricate aspect of our anatomy that is influenced by various factors in our daily lives🧠 Especially when we are feeling stressed and depleted, our nervous system can struggle to regulate and resource itself, making it harder to return to a state of balance and calm. ⸙

One of the most significant factors that can impact our nervous system is our triggers. When we encounter a trigger, our nervous system can go into fight or flight mode, which is a survival mechanism that can help us deal with perceived threats ✘

However, when we are constantly triggered, our nervous system can become overwhelmed, leading to chronic stress and other health issues👎🏽

So, here are 3 ways you can regulate the nervous system:

1. Breathing exercises. This can be as simple as box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for, repeat).
2. Sing! Singing helps to activate the vagus nerve which helps to set off a myriad of internal reactions which calms your nervous system. If you can chant, or OM even better, but singing everyone can do!
3. Meditate. Everyone can meditate, but if you’re running the story you can’t, at least get yourself into the present moment by focusing on 5 things you see, 4 things your feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things your smell and 1 thing you taste.

Let me know how you go ♥
