It’s time to calm your fight or flight response.
- Do you sometimes feel danger when there is none? Like a racing heart or a feeling of impending doom?
- Is your body in a state of fight or flight most of the time? Never really relaxing…
- Is stress your go to state? Even when good things are happening.
- Do you struggle to calm down after some kind of stressful event? Like it takes hours or days instead of minutes?
- Thinking about what you should have said, or could have done better? It’s called rhumination.
- Always doubting the reality you live in now and comparing it to the past and attaching shame/guilt or being anxious about the future?
- Are you gaining weight or not able to lose fat around your midsection because of stress hormones?
Our body has a system that was created to protect us from imminent danger. It was designed to kick the body, muscles and brain into immediate action. This process works amazing to rescue us from an emergency but when it’s happening it interferes with digestion, mood, emotional stability and being able to return to a calm (rest) state. Sometimes when we have been exposed to stress our nervous system becomes confused and gets stuck, for lack of a better term, in fight or flight mode. It’s called sympathetic dominance and it can be mediated by education, practice and awareness.
I designed this course to educate on how the nervous system works while giving real time daily exercises that can be used to begin to repair an over-excited system. Toning the vagus nerve and helping to cope with day to day life and calm your fight or flight response. I will help you learn to regulate the nervous system and reduce the amount of time spent in action mode! I hope you take the time to study this because I believe it can help begin the healing process at the root level.
