Feeling Overwhelmed or Stressed?

Feeling overwhelmed or stressed? 
It’s time to tap into your body's natural relaxation response and switch on your parasympathetic nervous system.

Did you know that you have to MANUALLY switch it on? Where as your fight or flight response system mode (aka the sympathetic nervous system) switches on Automatically at a "drop of a hat"!

And It only take a small noise, or something to trigger it on. BUT then to switch it off it takes manual effort... and it is done by switching ON the Parasympathetic Nervous System.

It's kinda like a Circuit Breaker... it trips easy but then it has to be Manually switched back to the working position.

There are many ways of doing this And here are a few...

25 Ways + 2 Bonus ones to Activate Your Parasympathetic Nervous System (the calm, rest, rebuild, and restore response mode) and switch off the Sympathetic Nervous System (the Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response mode system).

Did you know there are real health risk if you stay in the sympathetic response systems (the fight or flight mode..) for too long at a time, or over long periods of time? Now a days people are strung tight for way too long for various reasons... People in this fight or flight mode are easier to “control” because the don’t think and just follow anyone.
