The “nervous system” has been mentioned a lot lately and for good reason! Life is busy and our body wasn’t designed to be dealing with this level of stress 24/7. So today, we speak to Jodi Wilson, bestselling author, yoga teacher and postpartum doula, about her latest book, A Brain that Breathes: essential habits for an overwhelming world. We discuss…
- What even is the nervous system and how can we slow down?
- How the constant mental load, multitasking and being chronically online all contribute to an overwhelmed nervous system
- Small daily habits that we can use to help calm ourselves down (the real self-care!)
- The ‘switch cost effect’ and how it is really impacting mothers
- Children’s innate ability to be present
- Our biological need to rest in order for our brain to function productively
- How ‘the infinite scroll’ and picking up our phones keeps us in fight/flight
- 5 strategies to use when you’re overwhelmed
