Fix #6 - Light Exposure. Morning sunlight resets your circadian rhythm, helping your brain regulate cortisol, melatonin and nervous system balance.

Fix #5 - Grounding. Standing barefoot on the grass, sand, or earth lowers cortisol levels and syncs your body's electrical rhythm with the planet. Not woo woo -measurable shifts in stress hormones and inflammation.

Fix #4 - Cold water 🚿

Splash your face for or dunk it for 20 seconds. This triggers the dive reflex, lowering heart rate and snapping your body into the parasympathetic calm.

Fix #3 - Humming and chanting. Sound vibrations stimulate vagal fibers in your chest and throat. Two minutes can boost heart rate variability - a marker of resilience - and prep your body for deep sleep!

Fix #2 - The physiological sigh. Two sharp inhales through the nose, one long exhale through the mouth. NASA Astronauts use it, and Navy Seals use it... so can you!

Every inhale speeds the heart. Every exhale slows it. A long, slow exhale tells your nervous system you're safe!
