Your Gut and Your Calm
Did you know that about 80% of the signals in the vagus nerve travel from your body up to your brain? That means your gut, heart, and breath have a louder voice than your thoughts when it comes to regulating stress.
When your stomach feels unsettled, your heart races, or your breath is shallow, your brain interprets it as danger. The reverse is also true: when you steady your breath or eat in a calm environment, your body tells your brain, “I’m safe.”
Quick Reset Practice
Before your next meal, pause. Place a hand on your belly, take three slow breaths, and notice the smell and colors of your food. This small act primes your nervous system for calm and digestion.
✨ Takeaway: Calming your body is not just about thoughts. It starts with the signals you send upward.
💬 Community Reflection: Have you noticed how your stress changes your digestion or appetite?
