46. Recalibration: How To Reset Your Nervous System

What if you could transform your mental well-being by mastering the art of self-regulation? Join Coaches Polly & Sam this week to unlock the secrets to recalibrating the nervous system, especially during the stressful times of year like the holidays. Drawing insights from our personal journeys, including Sam’s current experience training for an Ironman amidst the chaos of life, we share how to overcome the inner "monkey mind" that breeds self-doubt and resistance. We reveal techniques to ground yourself in reality, differentiate between real and irrational fears, and maintain emotional fitness by embracing the beauty around you.

Discover the power of mini-vacations—simple, restorative activities like nature walks or bike rides—that can rejuvenate your mind and body. I recount a peaceful trek along the Bob Jones trail and a soothing soak in hot springs, illustrating the importance of understanding your personal bandwidth and recognizing self-imposed demands. Learn about the significance of self-coaching and self-soothing practices, whether through connecting with others or enjoying solitary moments. We also touch upon insights from the HeartMath Institute and the wisdom of Joe Dispenza and Greg Braden regarding energy balance and coherence.

Movement is not just physical; it’s a key to emotional well-being. In our discussion, Sam and I explore the balance between exercise and relaxation through activities like strength training and hot yoga to manage anxiety and trapped energy. We highlight strategies for emotional regulation, including deep breathing and the cathartic power of a good sigh. Dive into the significance of creating environments that promote mental clarity, and understand the crucial role of the vagus nerve in our overall well-being. By prioritizing internal peace and authenticity, you can find a fulfilling balance in life, and we’re here to guide you through this transformative journey.
