In our fast-paced world, calming the nervous system is more essential than ever. Stress overload doesn’t just cause headaches or anxiety—it disrupts digestion, sleep, and immune health. The good news? You can teach your body (and your children’s bodies) how to relax.
Why the Nervous System Needs Calm
When your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight mode, it can become harder to wind down, concentrate, or feel grounded. This affects everyone in the family.
Simple Nervous System Soothers
Try incorporating these into your daily routine:
Deep Belly Breathing – Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Do this as a family before meals or bedtime.
Cold Water Splash or Gargling – Activates the vagus nerve to help shift into rest-and-digest.
Humming or Singing – Great for kids! Calms the body through vagal tone stimulation.
Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments – Help reset the body’s stress response and improve regulation.
When the nervous system calms down, the whole family functions better.
