Keep calm and carry on toolbox

What can we do to balance our parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems?

It’s no secret the mind and body are totally connected. Ever get the jitters before a big game? The sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach with bad news? Butterflies before our first date?

We need to engage our parasympathetic nervous system, the one responsible for putting on the brakes. We need to actively practice calm. Next line in my keep calm and carry on toolbox or utilize meditation, daily, gratitude, journaling, spending time in nature, deep breathing for vagus nerve stimulation.

It starts with you!
