Thank you Nicole. You are the first teacher to point out what it means to have a dysregulated nervous system and how to heal it. I am 46 years old and realize I was stuck in a cycle of fear, reaction and addictive repetition of my childhood traumas. I did psychotherapy, discovered yoga, read many books on consciousness but could not bring all these areas together until now. I appreciate you work very much!!

Great tip about doing one thing at a time! Often people get overwhelmed and feel like making all these changes at once is too much. My favorite nervous system tip is to end the day on a calm note, I do journaling, have only amber lights or himalayan salt lamps for light, and don't have any electronics on the last hour before bed. This really helps me wind down for sleep, and i'll say "I agree" about sleep! It's probably the most crucial part of maintaining a healthy nervous system!

Thank you for this 🙏 And thank you for the encouragement at the end, to NOT try to change everything at once. I tend to do that and then... well, you know what happens. A small daily promise I'm working on currently is resting more. I'm up at 4:45am for work, working 10+ hours every day and I'm a single mom of 3. My youngest child recently pointed out the fact that I usually haven't taken off my shoes or sat down when it's 9 or 10pm. And by that time I'm ready to collapse. I started listening to your podcast in my ear buds at work or on the drive home and it inspired me to start setting timers throughout my day to check in with myself and see if I need to rest- then allow myself (sometimes force myself) some time to sit or lay down and just rest... whether it be for 5 min or 30 min, just resting means that I am taking care of myself and I'm showing myself that I'm worth taking care of. Working on it 😊

I agree, the health of my nervous system has also played a huge role in my healing, and your videos & book have made a big difference for me in that so thank you! 1. I quit drinking alcohol 2. Meditation every day 3. Yoga every day 4. Time for self reflection and self care every day This past year has been hard but these practices have helped me through some devastating incidents. Thank you for being there with me!

I love that she emphasized not trying to do all of the things because of course that’s the first place my mind went 🙃

I love your work Dr Nicole. Becoming a new Mum has led me to your work, at the same time I have limited time for me and am sometimes overwhelmed with how my life has changed so dramatically, understanding myself better has helped me be a better parent. My 3yr old son uses deep breathing when he feels overwhelmed/emotional/frustrated and will then tell me ‘I feel better now’ Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping the world heal when it’s needed more than ever 🙏🏼

Thank you Nicole, I love these short, extremely helpful and articulate videos! Lately I’ve been adding a Gua sha facial massage and dry brushing to my morning routine. It’s not every single day, but it’s becoming more and more regular and I do feel that it sets my nervous system and day off to a good start. I also like to put my legs up the wall in the evenings.

I would definitely say that from experience breath work and meditation have really helped my nervous system in quite a substantial way, as a trauma survivor my body was in an ongoing state of trauma response which manifested in my life as actions of flight (running away) and also also freeze and fawn (shutdown and disconnected from my emotions and trying to help the abuser through feeling responsible for their emotions.

I always struggle with Nutrition, do you think you can make a video or an IG post about it please 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Your energy is so calming and empowering 😇 Thank you 🙏

Thank you for the information 🌈

I love this and breathe is the one that I really need to work on . Glad its one of the courses. I also do cold showers in the morning now and that is really helping me with my restless legs at night.

Thank you for everything you put out on IG and YT. You’re amazing ❤️

My favorite wasn't mentioned here, so I wanted to throw it into the comments. I'm a huge fan of foods, supplements and pharmaceutical meds that are GABA system agonists. For me, that's GABA supplement, L theanine, green tea extract, Depokote (pharmaceutical mood stabilizer), Pregabalin (pharmaceutical for nerve pain), Baclofen (pharmaceutical muscle relaxer). Increasing activity in the GABA system has been monumentally beneficial for me.

Loved this video. I made it a habit of working on all of these throughout each week. Loved the tips ❤️

This is sooo helpful, thanks!!!!

What to eat for healthy nervous system ?

Love love love this! Thank you for creating this. I absolutely resonate with the four pillars, with breath work being my favourite!! 😍 I also reduce some things in my lifestyle that activate or trigger my nervous system in order to bring myself back to place of calm. (ESP when I am having hard time returning to safety) For example, I noticed when I drank coffee in the morning, it really activated my nervous system, and then following on with all of life’s responsibilities after it- I found that I was not able to get back to a state of calm, I was on sympathetic all day. I really struggled. So now I have tea instead of coffee and I feel that I am more centred and able to cope with stress through out my day, no matter what life throws at me. I think it’s important to develop awareness on how lifestyle factors/choices can also contribute to a locked SNS

How do I stop feeling so anxious? My body won't relax enough when I sleep and I ended up waking up anxious

What foods do you suggest that have proper nutrients for the nervous system?

Advice on sleep issues?

What if you are affected by a concussion and lack of sleep because of hot flashes, how can I take care of my nervous system under this additional circumstances? Thank you 🙏

I believe the main basic easy ways to take care of your nervous system is to eat, drink water, shower, get some sunshine.

I’m curious to know how going from fight (28 years) to freeze this past year, what is my body saying and is this a flag in my healing journey? Do I need to address something differently now that my anxiety had shifted between these 2?

Where is the Nervous System placed in our body?

I get so confused with the whole breath thing because here are people like Irene Lyon who say that it’s actually detrimental to try and calm ourselves and change our breath when in fight/flight. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I love your IG and im glad i found this youtube video

Thank you
