Do you need a nervous system reset?
If you’re wired & tired, anxious, agitated, sleeping like garbage, achy and lethargic, have zero access to creativity, and feel far away from the best version of yourself that puts work into the world that matters — you need a nervous system reset.
I know I do.
Although my business is thriving, my home looks gorgeous, I’m super “fit”, and I’m honoring nearly all my values… being inside my physical body feels like a hostile work environment.
In the last three weeks I’ve had headaches, bad sleep, and a root canal that left me with an infection, a dislocated jaw, and the most bizarre appetite.
After the last 17 months of total upheaval I can feel that on a very deep level I'm rattled and dysregulated.
In my old life I would’ve ran towards a restricted eating plan and a rigorous fitness program to get me feeling “great” again. Then I’d be totally bewildered why – even after I was leaner after following all my rules – I was still anxious, sleeping like crap, and producing average work.
The size & shape of your body is not a reflection of the health and vitality of your nervous system.
When our nervous systems are restored & regulated we just FEEL GOOD.
Our hunger is in alignment with our values. Our sleep is restorative and we wake actually feeling rested. Our eyes sparkle, our skin glows, and our creativity comes alive.
Above all we create really good work that deeply fulfills us.
So what is a nervous system reset?
Personally, I create a month long plan that's dedicated to one thing: SLOWING THE F*CK DOWN so can become incredibly present with my intentions, thoughts, choices, and actions.
These 30 days are my opportunity to commit (I hold myself accountable by sharing exactly what I’m doing with my tribe) to specific actions that are in line with my values and the vision I have for my life in the following areas:
Sleep + Stillness
Connection + Creativity
Nourishment + Embodied Movement
Morning Routine + Time Management
If you’d like to see exactly how I personally approach each of these, reply to this message. I’m super happy to share it!
My intuition tells me...
You already know what it would look like to slow down in a way that would restore your nervous system.
Am I right?
You do not need to look outside of yourself for the answers for how to feel healthier, more vibrant, or what your next best step is in creating your most fulfilling work yet.
You just need to slow down long enough for the whisper of your truth to become loud enough that you can hear it.
If you feel that doing a nervous system reset would restore your vibrancy, creativity, and aliveness – there’s no better time than September!
Using September allows you to begin fall in alignment with your values and the vision you have for how you want to close 2021 and begin 2022.
I encourage you not do this work alone.
Reach out to that one special soul that totally understands the value of slowing down. Create a plan together and lift each other up for those 30 days. Hold each other accountable to slow down, practice radical self-care, and restore your nervous systems.
Your nervous system will thank you.
