S4-E17: Rabbits & Turtles to Help Us Stop Overriding The Body
Description
The area I ignored most, that likely added at least a year or more to my recovery. This is part 6 of our mini series exploring the wee book: Successful Outside, Struggling Inside. Page 45-48 in that free 70 page PDF, examines pace & progress.
We start by putting a few key distinctions on the table, and then examine pace for both your thinking self, and separately for your nervous system.
We look at how you, hijack you. Specifically the 3 most common markers where flares up happen.
The pace of self regulation being long before you become dysregulated.
The cost of moving thigns faster than they are meant to move.
And what the ideal outcome looks like here: a full functioning collaboration, co-founder status between your thinking self, and your nervous system. We also spend a bit of time on what that model of communication looks like.
Resources mentioned in this episode include:
- A Daily Practice to restore your nervous system to a minimum viable baseline. This is mine to inspire your own version.
- Increasing your quality of life using Nervous System Intelligence
