How to calm your nervous system

How to calm your nervous system

An overactive limbic system is keeping you in fight or flight mode constantly.

Here's a list of easy ways to regulate it:-

  • Balance your electrolytes (Magnesium + Potassium + Sodium).
  • Cut all processed foods and vegetable oils.
  • Sunmaxxing (au naturel if possible).
  • Practice self-love.
  • Sungaze during sunset/sunrise to help align your circadian rhythms.
  • Walk barefoot in nature.
  • Prioritise 8-10 hours of sleep a night.
  • Exercise 3-4 times a week.
  • Smile at a stranger (activates mirror neurons).
  • Hug your family and pets.
  • Unplug and spend more time in nature.
  • Go skinny dipping in the ocean or for a ocean swim as often as you can.
  • Meditation/calming visualisations. 
  • Practice daily breathwork: Nadi Shopdhana (alternate nostril breathing).
  • Consider taking Magnesium Glycinate, Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, L'Theanine and Vitamin B1.
  • Fake it till you make it (your brain won't be able to tell).
  • Adopt a mantra:  "I am healthy, I am calm and I am powerful".  Repeat it all the time.
  • Ditch bluelight two hours before bedtime.
  • Plan a spontaneous adventure.
