R-3: Rest, Restore, Reset
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) consists of two branches: one that helps us manage stress and another that aids in recovery from stress. Many people today experience a condition known as Autonomic Nervous System Dysregulation, which essentially means being stuck in the stress-response branch of the nervous system. This imbalance is linked to various chronic diseases and can increase the risk of anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
The GOOD NEWS, is there are many effective ways to TURN ON the RESTORE BRANCH of the ANS. Stimulating both sides of your brain is a great way to increase hormones associated with feelings of well-being and happiness. Join FEAP’s in-person R-3 Session to learn some simple and playful strategies to calm your nervous system and promote your own well-being.
