Resetting Your Nervous System

July 10, 2025 2:06 pm

Feel Like You Again

Summer’s sunshine and longer days can be both a blessing and a blur, bringing packed calendars, constant stimulation, and that all-too-familiar feeling of being stretched thin, mentally scattered, and emotionally drained. If you’re juggling work, family, and the invisible load of daily life, your nervous system might be in overdrive. The good news? You can reset, and you don’t need a vacation to do it.

Switching To Thrive Mode

Think of your nervous system as your body’s internal operating system. When your nervous system is overwhelmed, even small stresses can feel overwhelming, and you may experience mental fog, fatigue, irritability, or digestive issues. Resetting your nervous system is a gentle, intentional practice that helps bring your body out of fight-or-flight mode and back into a calm, grounded state. The power to feel better lives within you, and summer is the perfect time to start making small changes that help your body return to “rest and digest” mode, improving:

  • Mental clarity
  • Digestive function
  • Emotional regulation
  • Sleep quality
  • Hormonal balance

By tuning in and calming your system, you’re managing stress and supporting your body’s ability to heal, connect, and thrive.

 

Simple Steps to Calm & Focus This Summer

Practice Breath Awareness: Slow, intentional breathing informs your nervous system that you’re safe.
Start Your Day With Stillness: Even five quiet minutes before scrolling or jumping into emails can reset your tone for the entire day. Stretch, meditate, or sip tea mindfully.
Get Sunlight Early: Morning sunlight supports your circadian rhythm, balancing hormones and helping your body know when to rest and when to energize.

  • Ever wonder why breathwork is such a powerful tool for your nervous system and core? Let’s talk exhales 👇 🫁 When you're looking to calm down, try making your exhale twice as long as your inhale. This gentle shift slows your breathing rate, slightly increases CO₂ in your blood, and activates your vagus nerve—your body’s natural brake pedal—so you feel grounded, safe, and at ease. Soft, slow exhales (not forced or tense) send the message: “You’re safe.” 🏋🏼‍♀️ But during exercise—especially postpartum—your exhale does something totally different. Here, you want a pursed-lip exhale, coordinating with pelvic floor lift, deep core engagement, and rib movement to create stability through effort. This is the kind of breath that protects your back and rebuilds your core. 💡Breath is dynamic. You take 22,000 breaths a day—mastering even just a few can dramatically shift your energy, your stress, and your strength. Comment “EXHALE” if you want to learn how to tap into your core through breath—it’s one of the simplest, science-backed ways to change your state ✨ #YourThriveCode #NervousSystemReset #BreathworkHealing #PerimenopauseSupport #FunctionalCore #BreathForCalm #PostpartumCore #WomenWhoThrive #FunctionalMedicine #MindBodyConnection
