Fix you! Learn to reset your nervous system - Protect & restore your energy from Stress & Overwhelm
with Lyndsey Bristow, Occupational Therapist
It is easy to lose ourselves in the busy chaos of our lives. The constant to-do lists, the hectic full schedules, constantly being reachable through technology, juggling work demands with kids,extracurriculars and the daily grind of meals, laundry, cleaning…etc. The pace of life is
overwhelming, even more so as we head into the holidays.
If you find yourself wondering:
How do other people seem to function better than me?
Why do I always feel behind?
Why can’t I sleep?
Why don’t I ever feel rested?
When was the last time I had fun/truly felt joy?
….then this session is for you!
In this session we will learn how the stress and business of our lives impacts our nervous systems, sensory systems, physical body, movement, mental state, emotional regulation, sexualdesire, energy and sleep.
Can’t sit still to meditate? That’s okay! When you try to deep breath are you distracted after 2 or 3 breaths? Totally normal! Is it impossible to find time in your schedule to go to yoga or walks? We get it! We will learn and practice science-backed strategies involving all our different systems (thinking, feeling, sensing, breathing, moving), so you have a toolbox of ways to downregulate and regain energy.
We will learn:
- what type of rest you need,
- how to finish the stress cycle,
- what sensory information depletes your energy,
- simple somatic movements to calm your body,
- how to use your senses to listen to what your body is telling you
As we head into the holidays, we will equip you with simple, easy to implement ideas that will help you to keep you regulated (not lose your shit), ditch what isn’t working for you and help you find some joy.
