For me I find putting my legs up the wall and doing deep belly breathing helps a lot. As long as I can calm down enough to remember to do it! What about you?
Oh wow, that’s the 2nd time I’ve heard about putting your legs up on the wall as a full body refresh. I’m gonna try it! It’s an if I remember to do it thing for me too. 😂 I use a thought stopping technique I created years ago called The Reset Remedy. It helps stop the ruminations in my mind so my nervous system can chill out and my body can exhale for a moment. Happy to share it with you if you’re curious.
Sure I would love it if you shared! I’m always looking for new ways to quiet the buzzing. The legs up the wall is extra important for me because I suffer from POTS - so I tend to faint when I’m upright and do better when I’m inverted. But it’s also incredibly calming for the sympathetic nervous system.
Slowing down the buzz of an overactive nervous system is so important (and so hard when you’ve always been in a vigilant state)!
Yes! It’s like the more you try to dial down the buzz, the louder it gets. It’s definitely taken years to get there.
That’s exactly it! When I focus on it - it just gets worse. And when the buzz is really loud writing does NOT happen. It’s just not possible.
I really appreciate you bringing up this important hurdle!
What have you found is a soothing salve when the buzz is on surround sound?

That's something I learned in yoga years ago. It's surprising how utterly relaxing it is.
Me too! In a wonderful yoga nidra class I used to take. It’s also great for pots or other forms of autonomic dysfunction.
