Everywhere we go we can find rules and regulations. When we travel to a baseball tournament on the weekends, there are regulations for the number of innings, runs, and pitch counts. The purpose of these regulations is to maintain safety and provide proper rest for the players.
Just like a pitcher needs regulations and rest, so do we. We need nervous system regulation to help us flexibly fluctuate between states of arousal and not get stuck or so stimulated that we shut down.
In this podcast, we talk about Nervous System Regulation and I offer 5 of my favorite ways to regulate.
- Breathe
- Settle In
- Music
- Rubbing
- Hand over Heart
These are my favorites because they can be done anywhere and sometimes consecutively. They have helped me when feeling completely overwhelmed or exhausted and provided rest and relief so I can reset.
