Simple Daily Practices to Calm and Regulate Your Nervous System

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. From work deadlines to family obligations, the demands of daily living can take a toll on our nervous system, leaving us feeling frazzled and out of balance. However, by incorporating simple daily practices into our routine, we can calm and regulate our nervous system, promoting a greater sense of calm and well-being. In this blog post, we'll explore a variety of techniques and strategies that you can implement to support your nervous system and cultivate inner peace.

Understanding the Nervous System

Before we delve into specific practices, let's take a moment to understand the role of the nervous system in our overall health and well-being. The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that transmit signals between different parts of the body, allowing us to respond to stimuli and regulate various bodily functions. It consists of two main components: the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which connects the CNS to the rest of the body.

The Impact of Stress on the Nervous System

Stress is a natural response to perceived threats or challenges, triggering the body's "fight or flight" response and releasing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. While this response is essential for survival in dangerous situations, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on the nervous system. Prolonged activation of the stress response can lead to increased inflammation, elevated blood pressure, and disruptions in hormone levels, contributing to a wide range of health problems, including anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular disease.

Daily Practices for Nervous System Regulation

Now that we understand the importance of regulating our nervous system, let's explore some simple daily practices that can help promote relaxation and calmness:

Mindful Breathing: Take a few moments each day to practice mindful breathing. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and focus on your breath as it enters and leaves your body. Notice the sensations of each inhale and exhale, allowing yourself to fully experience the present moment.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique that involves tensing and relaxing different muscle groups in the body. Start by tensing the muscles in your feet and slowly work your way up to your head, progressively releasing tension with each breath. This practice can help reduce physical tension and promote a sense of relaxation.

Nature Walks: Spending time in nature is a powerful way to calm the nervous system and reduce stress. Take a leisurely walk in the park or along a nature trail, allowing yourself to fully immerse in the sights, sounds, and smells of the natural world. Notice the beauty of your surroundings and let go of any worries or distractions.

Journaling: Journaling is a valuable tool for processing emotions and reducing mental clutter. Set aside time each day to write down your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a journal. This practice can help you gain clarity, perspective, and insight into your inner world, leading to greater emotional balance and well-being.

Gratitude Practice: Cultivating an attitude of gratitude can have profound effects on the nervous system. Take a moment each day to reflect on the things you're grateful for, whether it's the support of loved ones, the beauty of nature, or the simple pleasures of everyday life. Expressing gratitude can shift your focus from negativity to positivity, promoting a sense of peace and contentment.

Conclusion

In conclusion, incorporating simple daily practices into your routine can help calm and regulate your nervous system, promoting greater resilience and well-being in the face of stress and uncertainty. Whether it's mindful breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, nature walks, journaling, or gratitude practice, find what works best for you and make it a priority in your daily life. By nurturing your nervous system with care and compassion, you can cultivate inner peace and thrive in all aspects of your life.

✍️ Week 1 – Mastering the Basics

I’ve just wrapped up the first week of my month-long challenge to rebuild my art skills from the ground up starting with lines and simple shapes.

It might not sound exciting, but honestly, it’s been more challenging and more rewarding than I expected.

Here’s what Week 1 looked like:

• Practicing straight lines, curves, Ovals, Circles, Squares, Etc

• Learning to draw with my shoulder, not just my wrist

• Focusing on accuracy, consistency, and control

• Following exercises from Brent Eviston on Skillshare

Progress has been slow at times, and yes, a little frustrating, but I’m already starting to notice a difference. My lines are a bit steadier. My shapes are a bit more confident. Most importantly, I’m starting to enjoy the process again.

No finished drawings, no big results yet, but that’s okay. This is the foundation I skipped the first time, and I’m finally giving it the time it deserves.

If you’ve gone through this phase before, how did you stay motivated?

If you’ve got any favourite drills or exercises for beginners, feel free to send them my way.

Week 2 begins. Let’s keep going one line at a time.

Rotting with RATs

RAT = Resisting A Task I’ve been riddled with RATs—the sort of nitpicky, pernicious thoughts that prevent all action and resist every task. Keeping a thought in mind too long, trying to make it perfect, is a surefire way for entropy to kick in. It feels like wasting time is all I do. I have ideas that I want to explore, but ideas have to become something through action. My mind comes up with…

Okay, it's just the fifth day of Inktober and I realize that I can't keep up anymore. In addition to working on my commissions, it is not possible for me to produce a full drawing every day. Well, then I know that now. We keep learning.😅

No matter...I'll still continue at my pace. Because it's really fun to paint with ink. So here is my contribution to the fourth Inktober prompt “Dodge”. 😊
