If you’re feeling constantly on edge or overwhelmed by life’s demands, you’re not alone, and your nervous system might be the reason why! Think of the nervous system as your body’s communication highway, with messages on what to think, feel, and do traveling at hyper speed. On one side, you have your body’s "fight or flight" response, known as the sympathetic nervous system, and its essential counterpart, the "rest and digest" parasympathetic nervous system.

Both sides are equally important and, when able to balance one another out, are the key to living a healthier, more productive life! In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m talking about why you must support your nervous system for a healthier, more productive life!

In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m sharing the vital role your nervous system plays as your body’s “central command center” and giving you actionable steps to take right now to regulate yourself, breaking the cycle of stress and burnout.

I cover the following topics:

Differences between the sympathetic (“fight or flight”) and parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) systems.
The physical, mental, and emotional signs of nervous system overload and its impact on your health and relationships.
The connection between chronic stress, health issues, and burnout.
Five powerful practices to support your nervous system.

Remember: Supporting your nervous system doesn’t require a complete life overhaul. Small, consistent actions can make a big difference. For more resources, visit positivelyproductive.com/toolkit and start your journey to a calmer, more productive you.
