It works and we want to be in that parasympathetic state as often as we can do. Not irritable, in Fight or Flight mode ;)

I can teach you many tools to get back to that state.

Did you know that your nervous system sends clear signals when it’s under strain? Irritability, short temper, or that feeling of being “on edge” are often the first indicators of dysregulation, frequently driven by blood sugar instability.

I love this post by .holistic.psychologist - it’s a perfect example of food as medicine and the profound connection between metabolic health and nervous system regulation.

When your blood glucose drops rapidly or fluctuates dramatically, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to compensate. This triggers your sympathetic nervous system (your fight-or-flight response) which manifests as irritability, anxiety, or emotional reactivity.

Here’s how to reset:

🥩 Eat protein or healthy fats to slow glucose absorption and prevent the spike-and-crash cycle that keeps your nervous system in overdrive

🚶🏼Take a brisk walk to activate your parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest), improve insulin sensitivity, and help clear stress hormones from your bloodstream

Your nervous system can actively regulate through nutrition, movement, and metabolic awareness.

Pay attention to your body’s early warning signals, and you’ll prevent the downstream effects of chronic dysregulation: inflammation, poor sleep, weakened immunity, and metabolic dysfunction.

This kind of joy is not dependent on a sunny day, the weekend, "I'll be happy when I get.....".....you get to choose.

MOVEMENT
AS
STRESS
RELIEF
We are wired for rhythm, flow, and expression — and stress often dissipates when we return to that natural state of motion.

Exercise doesn’t just strengthen muscles or improve cardiovascular health; it soothes the mind in ways that modern science continues to affirm. Movement releases endorphins, boosts serotonin, and regulates cortisol, restoring our sense of emotional harmony. It’s a biological reminder that we are wired for rhythm, flow, and expression — and that stress often dissipates when we return to our natural state of motion.

Beyond that, physical activity gives the nervous system what it craves most: safety and regulation. Whether it’s a brisk walk, yoga flow, or a quick dance in your kitchen, mindful movement creates space for tension to soften and emotions to process. The rhythmic pattern of breath and motion signals to the brain that it’s okay to relax, inviting clarity where there was once chaos and presence where there was once overwhelm.

Over time, this practice becomes less about “working out” and more about “working through.” Exercise becomes a form of emotional hygiene — a way to clear what the day accumulates and reconnect to your sense of balance and vitality. With each step, each stretch, each conscious breath, we’re not pushing toward peace — we’re returning to it.

Not a big fan of heavy metal...the music, but a little G&R and Van Halen---that gets me rockin'!!!! Not the other kind of heavy metals though, LOL. ;)
Happy Heavy Metal-less Tuesday!

Not your pants size folks. Healthy comes from the mind-body connection. I have worked with many slim human beings that were rather unhealthy.

Changing your story isn't easy. I provide no BS here about that.
Any change can be tricky, but doing it with a health coaching gal like moi....much less painful and easier in some cases because I have tools, hacks, experience to expertly guide ya though it all ;)

Does your old story serve you?
Do you want to unlearn it and truly become who you were meant to be?

Currently in a situation, not a pleasant one, where I have to take responsibility for how I respond to my own triggers. Two triggered people is a sh*tty thing. LOL. So, I diffuse my own triggered self and remember that I can have peace at the end of this situation (long, drawn out one sadly) and yet, I am not in control of how the other person responds. ZERO CONTROL. But I am in control of how I deal with mine.
I get to walk away keeping my peace and calm.

I urge you to remember that its not about your unmet emotional needs from childhood, nor past trauma, its about letting go of the need to win the argument and walking away at the end of it all with peace in your heart and mind. Not easy, but possible.
