A couple of weeks back we talked about the six places calm actually shows up in your body. This week I want to introduce you to the nerve that's actually running a big part of that show. It's called the vagus nerve, and it's honestly wild once you get it, it's the longest nerve in your whole autonomic nervous system, running from the base of your brain, right down through your neck, your chest, your gut. Three of those six places we talked about, your heart slowing down, your breath deepening, your digestion switching back on, that's not three separate things happening, that's one nerve doing its job in all three places at once. And here's the part that matters for you this week, when things get too intense, when you're overwhelmed, when old stuff is weighing on you, the vagus nerve is what steps in and hits the chill-out button. It tells your heart to ease up and your breathing to slow down. You don't have to talk yourself into calm, your body already has a switch for it, you just need to know how to reach it. 📄🌿 I made you something to go with this one, Reach The Switch, it walks you through the exact breathing pattern that reaches that switch, plus a tracker to actually use it this week. 👇🌿 Tell me in the comments, is breathwork something you already do, or is this brand new for you? 📊Where are you with breathing practices?

Can we talk about this weather for a second. We had the most beautiful first week of spring, sunshine, warm afternoons, birds going nuts in the garden, all of it. And now, just a few days in, we've swapped straight into a rainy, windy cold front. Classic South African spring, one day it's giving beach vibes, the next it's asking you to find your winter coat again. Got me thinking about favorite seasons, and mine has always been summer, no contest. Something about the days stretching out and the sun sticking around just switches something on in me, I've got more energy and I feel properly alive instead of just getting through the day. So tell me, what's your season? The one that makes you feel most like yourself. 👇Drop a gif in the comments that captures it. ☀️⛄🍂🌸
