1
Did you know that your nervous system sets the entire tone for the day?
2
And if you're anything like me,
3
high function, type A, a little anxious,
4
and maybe your body's a little addicted to cortisol,
5
then mornings can literally make or break your entire system.
6
I used to think that I'd have to spend so much money on supplements,
7
on a new routine, on tools and gadgets in order to get my nervous system back to a regular baseline.
8
And that's not true.
9
There's actually many things that are free,
10
easy, and actually enjoyable to do that can also reset your nervous system for basically a very low cost or free.
11
It's not about adding more to your hectic life.
12
It's just about making little micro adjustments to your existing routine and to your lifestyle that can help you feel grounded,
13
calm, and clear.
14
So today I'm going to share with you the eight things
15
that I do before 8am to reset and regulate my nervous system.
16
No supplements, no gadgets, just practices,
17
simple things that actually work.
18
First one is tea instead of coffee.
19
I used to literally have a caffeine addiction.
20
I would wake up in the morning and the first thing that I want to do is make coffee.
21
And oftentimes I would drink it on an empty stomach,
22
which is really, really bad for your gut lining and just for your entire nervous system.
23
Especially if you're someone that already has high cortisol,
24
you're already more type A to begin with.
25
Adding caffeine on top of that just makes you more amped,
26
but not in a way where it's going to be actually beneficial for you
27
because you don't actually give your body a chance to naturally wake up
28
and naturally use its energy from the rest that you got.
29
Having caffeine on an empty stomach and even just first thing in the morning definitely can spike your cortisol,
30
definitely wrecks your digestion.
31
Nowadays, I start with ginger and fennel tea.
32
This has really helped me regulate my digestion,
33
my bowel movements in the morning.
34
And I was that girl that used to literally rely on coffee for poop.
35
If I didn't have my morning coffee,
36
I would not be able to poop.
37
Once you kind of build a new habit of finding something else that can replace the routine of making your morning coffee,
38
It's quite easy and you don't really think about it again.
39
Number two is not skipping breakfast What they say about breakfast
40
being the most important meal of the day is actually true
41
And took me a long time to actually believe this There
42
was a period of time where a lot of health
43
and fitness influencers
44
and scientists were talking about How fasting can be really beneficial
45
for weight loss A lot of research has come out now where skipping breakfast
46
or fasting too long might actually not be super beneficial for
47
some women Especially depending on the phase of their cycle
48
that you're in For many years i would skip breakfast i would fast
49
and then i would do a fasted workout thinking
50
that it was the best way to get the body
51
that i wanted to get
52
but in reality it was just spiking my cortisol making me hold on to extra fat
53
because my body was in survival mode these days i eat breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up now
54
and it's been the most nourishing and grounding thing that i could have done for my nervous system.
55
I don't get hangry during the mid-morning anymore.
56
I feel more regulated.
57
I feel like there's a schedule that my body can look forward to.
58
I find myself not as tired now in the gym and even just throughout the workday,
59
I feel way more energized.
60
I don't have that nasty 3 p.m crash anymore.
61
Just eating a warm protein-rich breakfast has really helped stabilize my blood sugar and also just keeps my nervous system calm,
62
regulated, just in that safe zone.
63
The third thing is walking,
64
getting sunlight into your eyes,
65
but most importantly, not listening to a podcast or music or anything.
66
So I used to walk a lot and I would use this as a chance to multitask and to be efficient.
67
So I would plug in a podcast and walk
68
and I'm not even really walking because my brain is just thinking about what I'm hearing about the podcast.
69
And oftentimes it was self-help podcasts.
70
So that gets my brain even turning even more.
71
Nowadays, when I do my walks,
72
I don't listen to anything.
73
And I just kind of use my senses to observe the nature,
74
the sound of the cars,
75
the sound of the birds,
76
just really kind of using this as a sensory walk rather than it being like,
77
I just need to get this done and check it off the list.
78
It's just about having a really nice grounded walk where you're just looking into the horizon,
79
anchoring your circadian rhythm, boosting your dopamine naturally,
80
and just telling your body that you're safe, you can regulate.
81
And it's just been a great way to start my mornings.
82
Number four is shaking my body in the morning.
83
I thought this one was a little bit weird when I first started doing it.
84
I've been doing it consistently for 60 days now
85
and it's honestly made a huge difference in getting off
86
that excess stress and tension that your body sometimes holds in the morning.
87
So the science behind shaking is that it helps clear tension,
88
helps with the lymph movement,
89
helps with chi movement, and kind of just releases stagnation in the body from overnight.
90
I like to shake my body
91
while also doing breath This is a great way to kind of connect your mind and body and your breath together.
92
I've been using the OTHERSHIP breathwork app for my shaking sessions.
93
All I do is put on one of my favorite guided sessions
94
and it's a combination of breathing with shaking your body I
95
do it after I eat before I get to sit down
96
and go on my desk and it's just been a great way to
97
Shake it off number five is doing a mental check-in with yourself when you wake up in the morning
98
Literally just talking to yourself whether it's out loud
99
or in your head and asking how your body feels How was your sleep the night before giving aches or tensions?
100
What is your mind thinking about?
101
Are you calm?
102
Are you anxious?
103
Do you feel heavy?
104
Just having that body scan has really helped me be more in tune with what my body needs
105
and what my mind needs Whereas I used to wake up and literally just jump straight to starting my day,
106
jump straight into work I never took the time to actually ask myself how I was.
107
Life is very very busy There's going to be notifications,
108
there's going to be messages,
109
things that you got to get done,
110
priorities that you got to take care of
111
But your most important priority at the end of the day is yourself and your body and your mind
112
and just taking literally two minutes to ask yourself how you're feeling before your hectic day starts.
113
I found it as one of the greatest ways to just check in with your nervous system,
114
give it the love that it needs and help set the tone for the day.
115
The awareness of being in your own body is a way of regulating your nervous system in itself.
116
Number six is breath work.
117
Earlier I talked about breath work along with shaking my body in the morning
118
but whenever I have a downtime or a chance away from the work desk
119
and away from the computer and away from the screens,
120
I try to just do a little bit of breath work,
121
even if it's one or two minutes.
122
There's a lot of different types of breath work.
123
You can breathe in with your nose,
124
breathe in with your mouth,
125
breathe in with your nose,
126
breathe out with your nose.
127
You can do lion's breath,
128
box breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, lots of different types of breathing.
129
Great way to really stimulate your vagus nerve and shift yourself out of that fight or flight mode.
130
One of my favorite times to do it is actually midday,
131
especially when you've been locked into the computer screen for a couple hours
132
or you're really deep into your work stand up do some
133
breath work doesn't need to be long it's just a great way to kind of ground yourself
134
and it's free literally just a free medicine for your body
135
number seven is morning pages slash a brain dump i used to structure my journaling way too much
136
and now i just brain dump word vomit on a page
137
and it's a great way to just be unfiltered with yourself get anything off your chest
138
that literally just comes to your mind,
139
you'd be surprised if you just let yourself write and free flow what actually comes up.
140
You'll realize that it clears up a lot of mental anxiety,
141
a lot of clutter, especially if you wake up, you're feeling very overwhelmed.
142
Just putting whatever you're overwhelmed or concerned about on a page is a great way to just park it and say,
143
it doesn't need to bother you.
144
Morning Pages, the concept was made popular by Julia Cameron,
145
who wrote The Artist's Way.
146
It's a great book for anyone who's kind of in a creative rut,
147
kind of at a crossroads or pivot with their career and their life.
148
Not even just for creatives, just anyone in general.
149
You'll notice that as you become more in tune with your body
150
and what your body needs You actually write less
151
because there's almost not as much
152
that you need to get off your chest as often
153
Because you're kind of checking in with your body already throughout the day
154
And the last thing I do is spending time with an animal or a loved one Whether it's hugging my partner,
155
petting my dog, playing with him Or even just messaging a friend
156
and wishing them to have a good day This releases oxytocin
157
Resetting your nervous system in isolation is really hard Your nervous system needs community It needs connection.
158
It needs love, friendship, relationships.
159
A little connection goes a long way
160
and this has been one of the things
161
that I think isn't talked about enough when it comes to resetting your nervous system.
162
A lot of people nowadays,
163
they live alone or they feel lonely or their support system isn't necessarily close to them in proximity.
164
So feeling connected to someone can feel like a luxury.
165
Extend yourself to other people,
166
find a community, find people that you connect with and making sure
167
that you take the time to to nourish those relationships because that in itself is a huge bonus for your nervous system.
168
What you do before 8am or before your morning starts,
169
whatever time that is, is literally the emotional temperature for your day.
170
But what you do at night,
171
how you wind down, what state you're in before you go to bed,
172
that's also equally as important.
173
So I'm going to be making another routine on things that I do before bed that help reset my nervous system.
174
If you enjoy this video,
175
I also make content on Instagram and through my newsletter.
176
And my content is really for high-functioning type A women who are looking to reconnect with themselves,
177
with their bodies, and ultimately slow down and feel more grounded with themselves.
178
Every month I have a newsletter that I curate which includes healing protocols,
179
recipes, things that I'm unlearning,
180
just a great little digest snapshot of a check-in you could say.
181
And I post almost daily on Instagram with a lot of the similar content
182
that you'll see on my YouTube channel but more in bite-sized format.
183
All the links are in my description and thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe for the next video.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
