If your mind won’t shut off… try THIS weird trick.
If your mind feels loud lately… here’s something most people don’t know:
👉 You literally can’t think while humming.
For a moment, the mental chatter just… stops.
Not because you’re “trying to relax,”
but because humming activates the vagus nerve and shifts your whole nervous system into rest-mode.
Here’s why it works ⬇️
• Humming increases nitric oxide (hello, better oxygen flow)
• It softens tension in the vagus nerve
• It pulls you out of fight-or-flight
• Your brain gets a mini pause... which feels like relief
Even 10 seconds can calm anxiety, ease overwhelm, and help you feel grounded again.
✨ QUICK TIP:
Next time your thoughts are spiraling, try a slow, gentle hum on the exhale.
Feel the vibration in your chest and face - that’s your body switching gears.
