If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” — eating well, setting goals, staying productive — but still feel tense, anxious, or stuck, your problem might not be mental at all. It might be your nervous system.
In this episode, Light Watkins breaks down what it really means to have a dysregulated nervous system, how it quietly sabotages your focus and follow-through, and why so many people are unknowingly living life on “hard mode.”
You’ll learn three practical tools to restore balance — including a quick breathing technique that instantly resets your body, a simple daily habit that clears mental clutter, and a long-term practice that keeps you grounded no matter what life throws your way.
Light also explains how these tools work together to help you feel calmer, more present, and more in control of your energy, so you can stop reacting from stress and start responding from alignment.
If you’re ready to end the cycle of burnout and finally feel at ease in your body and mind, this episode will show you exactly where to start.
Plus, stay tuned for free meditation resources to help you deepen your inner practice.
