Regulating your Nervous System.
Once you recognize that your nervous system is feeling unsettled, the most important step is to address it immediately and begin regulating your nervous system. This practice is one of the most crucial aspects of my routine, no matter how challenging my days may be.
Take a walk
Practice deep breathing
Set aside time for mindfulness meditation
Listen to calming music
Take a break from social media
Allow yourself to have a good cry
Spend quality time with close friends
Go to bed at a regular time
Attend a yoga session
Other helpful activities include cuddling with your pet or joining a gym class, where you can channel your energy into movement and release pent-up stress. Engaging in physical activities not only helps regulate your nervous system but also boosts endorphins, enhancing your mood and providing a sense of accomplishment.
Remember, self-care is not selfish. Taking the time to regulate your nervous system and nurture your well-being allows you to show up fully in life, ready to embrace each day with renewed strength and resilience. By prioritizing these practices, you are investing in a healthier, happier version of yourself, capable of navigating life's challenges with grace and determination.
