My answer- 8!
The scale between 1-10. 1 being quite present and functional. 5 is you only tend to notice your body when it's signalling pain. 10 is having your body owned by your job and not remembering the last time you felt safe.
I was surprised by the answer as I wasn't carrying the stress like I did before of working in corporate.
Starting new things, adjusting to new schedules has left me constantly on edge and not regulated. Even though I'm not regulated as I would like to be, I can still feel a since of joy and freedom.
Why is important to regulate your nervous system?
- Better cognitive function - meaning you can actually think clearly
- Better health- digestion, movement and overall functionality improves
- Better relationships- you make better decisions, you think before reacting.
To help me, yes I am going to have a session myself of Spinal Energetics. Meditation for me right now is focusing on breathe and a Yoga Nidra track. I've just been out in the sun and allow th warmth to help me relax and know everything is ok.
