How to Build Nervous System Regulation Into Your Daily Life
About this episode
Do you bulldoze through day after day without checking in on how you're feeling or what you need? Do you often feel like you don't have time for self care or regulation practices? Join me for today's conversation on how to build in small "regulation reps" in throughout your day. Tiny practices done on a consistent basis can make a big difference in your overall nervous system state. When you make a priority out of regulating your nervous system you live differently, but none of the suggestions I'll make in today episode will take more than 1-2 minutes. It's not about doing more, its about doing some things differently.
3 Takeaways:
- Start With One Regulation Rep Choose one small practice from the list and commit to it daily. When it becomes automatic, add another. All the practices I mentioned started one at a time. Don’t try to overhaul your entire routine at once.
- Use the 10 Micro-Moment Practices Reference the list: consistent bedtime, morning sunlight, bathroom breath breaks, shake out tension, legs up the wall, gargle water, cold shower finish, move more, spend time outside, eat real food. Pick the one that feels most doable for your current lifestyle.
- Remember: It’s About Doing Different, Not More These practices don’t require extra time—they’re about being more intentional with time you already have. Use moments throughout your day to come into conversation with your body and provide micro-moments of regulation.
