Published 2 years, 9 months ago
Description
Do you feel exhausted, yet can't seem to enter into rest? Don't worry, you're not alone, and it makes sense. Our nervous system has a built-in protective mechanism that constantly fights to keep us feeling safe. In this episode, we share practical ways to calm your nervous system so that you can be fully present when you enter Sabbath or go on a vacation! We talk about:
- The three main states of the nervous system: ventral vagal, sympathetic nervous system, and dorsal vagal
- Orientation and how to find your way back to the present when your body goes in fight, flight, or freeze
- How to discern what you say yes and no to
- Practical ways to work for rest
