Happy election day all! AKA hard to remain in your window of tolerance day!
Sympathetic activation is the body's response to stressful situations that prepare it for fight or flight. Everyone's specific sensations are a bit different because each nervous system is unique to the person. You may notice increased muscle tension, heart rate, and more rapid or shallow breathing than normal. Get curious about how your body responds and do what you can to meet it where it's at today. Add extra movement and self care. Getting to know your patterns of activation can help make you the expert of your body. Meeting your body's requests just 10% more can make for some dramatic changes in ability to regulate. Best of luck to all!
