Is your body’s engine running too fast, too slow, or just right, for the activity you want to do? You can change the sensory input to help regulate your brain.
The following video links are helpful for transition times or changing your engine speed.
The Vagus Nerve
The Vagus Nerve helps activate our Sympathetic Nervous System response (fight/flight) when we experience danger or anxiety. It also helps activate the Parasympathetic Nervous System response (rest/digest) when we feel safe and calm. We can do exercises to put on the Vagal Brake (switch into the rest/digest response). Breathing is one of the best ways to tone the vagus nerve and activate the vagal brake.
