Familiar routines sometimes are the worst ways to regulate yourself, and that's why I recorded this episode for you today. Nervous System regulation is all about hacking your brain. Sometimes the most regulating things we can do are HARD. And above all, we need to remember that we are always layering our tools for maximum results. So if you are struggling with enjoying the things that have always regulated you in the past, or if nervous system regulation has not been something you've really ever thought about, this is your episode.
