“Regulate your nervous system”
Who even came up with this phrase lol.
You’re a human being with emotions not a thermostat.
The goal isn’t to regulate every emotion or become calm all the time.
The goal is to stop constantly ejecting into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn states.
Learning to hold the tension as you do the uncomfortable thing is the practice.
Youll find that the nervous system didn’t need regulating, just a reminder that you’re in control and you’re safe.
