so far, i've been dedicating this season to regulating my nervous system. i find myself more balanced and harmonized when doing so. here are some key tips to a successful soft nervous system reset:

letting yourself hum quietly or with music. this allows vibrations to soothe from within. breath + sound = nervous system bath.

holding something warm in your hands for longer than usual. not drinking, just holding. this is grounding through warmth and weight.

wearing soft, loose clothing. wear comfortable clothes and get your pajamas a size up. by removing what constricts, it relieves your skin and softens your entire body.

watch fire, waves or candlelight. taking deep breaths while doing this relaxes your nervous system completely. your brain slows down and your body follows the rhythm.

lying on warm ground or resting your head against a tree. getting grounded with the earth is a must.

closing your eyelids and letting the sunlight rest on you. this gently signals safety to your whole nervous system. it's rest even when you are awake and a great source of vitamin d.

lymphatic massages. doing these consistently release all tension and drainage in your body. perfect for detoxing and sculpting your body. this is nervous system regulating from the outside.
