S4-E13: Nervous System 101

Get instant access to the wee book here: Successful Outside, Struggling Inside >

We are back with the 2nd of our mini series discussing the wee book - Successful Outside, Struggling Inside, pages 16-25. This episode focuses exlusively on the nervous system, tabling distinctions between dysregulated and depleted, nervous sytem states as our baseline vs the places our nervous system moves in and through, before taking a much closer look at each of the 4 states, and why state specifc recovery matters. For example, if you're stuck in survival mode - the red zone, and trying to help yourself with tools and resources from the peak performance or thriving zones, (blue & green) - it's not going to work. 

Understanding where you are on the nervous system ladder will give you a higher probability of success finding your way out, as you engage the tools, timing and pace that your nervous system state benefits from most.  Who knew?
