“Dear Nervous System,
You’ve carried me through every hard conversation, sleepless night, heartbreak, and overwhelming day. You’ve kept my heart beating, my lungs breathing, my body healing, even when I didn’t give you the support you deserved.
This year, I want to say thank you and I want to show you some love.”
Here are 5 ways to care for your nervous system this month (and every month):
1. Get Adjusted Regularly
Remove the interference. Restore clear communication between your brain and body. Give yourself the foundation for optimal function.
2. Prioritize Deep Sleep
Your nervous system repairs and resets during sleep. 7-9 hours isn’t indulgent, it’s essential for hormone regulation, mood stability, and healing.
3. Practice Breathwork
Deep, intentional breathing activates your vagus nerve and shifts you out of fight-or-flight mode. Try 4-7-8 breathing: inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Instant reset.
4. Move Your Body Gently
Walking, stretching, yoga—gentle movement signals SAFETY to your nervous system. You don’t need intense workouts. You need joyful, consistent movement.
5. Connect with Safe People
Your nervous system co-regulates with others. Hugs, laughter, deep conversations, these tell your brain you’re safe. You’re wired for connection. Let yourself receive it.
Your nervous system is your lifeline. It controls everything: how you sleep, heal, digest, handle stress, and show up in the world.
This Valentine’s Day, instead of just celebrating romantic love, let’s celebrate the incredible system that makes it all possible.
Give your nervous system the care it’s been begging for.
