"How you breathe matters"
As shift workers, our body is already stressed by being out of sync with its circadian rhythm (Biological Clock)
The way we breathe is a window into which state of our autonomic nervous system we are in.
Are you in a sympathetic (fight or flight) or a parasympathetic (rest and digest) state?
During this episode I discuss
- The 3 sides of the autonomic nervous system
- The Enteric nervous system (ENS)
- The Sympathetic nervous system (SNS)
- The Parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS)
- How to check which state you are in
- How to get back into a parasympathetic state quickly.
- Why does it matter so much?
