May is mental health month and we wanted to take today to share one of the best ways you can support your mental health.
The vagus nerve is the main component of the parasympathetic nervous system and the body’s super power. It is crucial for moving us in and out of fight and flight mode. It’s what slows us down, calms us down and regulates stress after experiencing an overwhelming and overstimulating moment. It plays a key role in the management of mental health.
Understanding how to support your vagus nerve with some simple exercises is important to supporting you mind and body. And remember you are not alone. There always resources available for you and practicing some exercises like these can help build resilience over time.
