Over the past year I’ve been on a huge journey to regulate my nervous system after being very dysregulated for years.
Since putting in the work and maintaining my spiritual practices over this past year I honestly feel like an entirely new person.
If you haven’t been feeling like yourself lately it could be because you are dysregulated. Here is how I know when my nervous system is dysregulated:
- Difficulty concentrating or focusing
- Irritability or mood swings
- Feeling overwhelmed easily
- Trouble sleeping or experiencing nightmares
- Increased heart rate or palpitations
- Digestive issues such as stomach aches or nausea
- Hypervigilance or feeling constantly on edge
- Difficulty regulating emotions or experiencing intense emotional reactions
If you have been feeling any of those it would be worth talking to a health professional about the best way to work on regulating your nervous system but also looking at what you can currently shift in your environment to help you start feeling more regulated. Some of the changes I made were:
- Limit caffeine
- Focusing on quality sleep
- Meditation
- Check in and reflections
- Slow movement
- Co-regulating with Coopa & Tim
- Singing & dancing
- Phone free time
- Getting sunshine or being out in nature
- Journalling
Keeping to your spiritual practices and doing cup filling activities can have an incredible impact on your nervous systems. A big shift for me was my workouts - I changed from doing strength training to a slower form with either reformer or mat pilates. I found starting my day like this really set a flowy and calm tone even just from the difference in music alone. It also helped me really get into my feminine energy which is something I struggle with so that’s an added bonus.
If you want to hear more about the shifts I made and a bit about Coopa’s journey - we recorded a podcast episode about it which you can listen to here.
This journey was also a huge reason I created RISE the app. I really wanted it to be a place where you can come to help regulate your nervous system and give you the tools you need to transcend.
In case you don’t know RISE the app is a high vibe space to manifest, connect and evolve. The RISE app has been created to provide you with the tools you need to reach your full potential, your in-pocket mindset bestie that will help you reach new levels of consciousness.
Whether you find knowledge in our masterclasses, support in our pep talks or inner peace in our meditations - there will always be what you need at that moment. You can find out more about RISE here.
