 Sarah Jackson on Instagram: "Traumatization makes it harder for the vagus nerve to move the body out of fight-or-flight into regulation, but stimulating it can improve its function.

In fact, over time, we can restore vagus nerve function to draw the nervous system into a baseline of regulation, where the body can move into homeostasis. 

In homeostasis, the body can better regulate hormones, clear infection, detox, and repair at a cellular level. 

There are also emotional benefits! We experience increased peace, vitality, and freedom when the body comes out of chronic survival mode into a state of rest. 

If you experience ongoing anxiety, depression, chronic health challenges, or other symptoms of chronic nervous system dysregulation and want to restore a baseline of regulation, I created my monthly membership, Restore, for you. 

Restore is opening to new members in a few weeks, September 13th-15th. 

Restore takes a holistic approach to healing by teaching you to use somatic (body-based), cognitive (mind-based), & spiritual (soul-focused) practices to rewire your nervous system to a baseline of regulation, where calm, confidence, & creativity live. 

A monthly membership includes: ⁣

1️⃣ A class pass to my live virtual trauma release class, taught each month + Q&A’s & class recordings. 

2️⃣ Access to the Restore video library, currently with over 100 videos offering holistic practices and education 

3️⃣ Access to Q&As

Words from Restore members:

✨ Sarah’s Restore toolkit is literally transforming my life!... Some days I have to pinch myself because I cannot believe how much different I feel. -Michelle 

✨ Restore has given me emotional stability that I never thought possible. -Paula

✨ I’ve used [Restore practice videos] & they provide so much pain relief & a calming of my nervous system. -Erin

To be notified when Restore opens next month, you can join the waitlist via my bio or www.sarahjacksoncoaching.com/membership

Are you in survival mode? How do you respond when you face stress? Which stress response do you identify with?

 Monique on Instagram: "I was going to share a post on emotional regulation tips but thought I can't do that until I share the possible underlying functions of the dysregulation, that being, a likely triggered stress response. Everyone has a stress response, it is our survival mechanism kicking in, our brain is conditioned to primarily engage in one or two from infancy. You may recognise some of these behaviours in your children/teens and knowing that it's a survival instinct kicking in, may help reframe the behaviour and correctly match the strategies and intervention. Stay tuned for strategy suggestions."

 Panic & Anxiety Management ℹ | 1.5M+👥 on Instagram: "Humans are 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 making beings, we need to know why? So you are normal to what if. Why? 👇
.
🎨@crazyheadcomics 
✒@the_anxiety_wellbeing.coach 
.
👉Why do we need to know why? 
.
Because, we are actually animals that called themselves the human race but ultimately we are born & our job is to survive & create the next generation in order for our species to continue. So our minds job is to protect us & to survive any potential danger. 
.
Makes sense that you try not to put your hand back into a fire. That you may run when faced with a danger or fight or freeze depending on the situation & which response suited best.
.
Our body & mind work as a team, the mind wants to protect us too & needs to know what things mean, in order to know if were safe or not. How else will you have an idea if you're safe or not but by through your senses & perceptions.
.
Which is why we search for meaning 
.
What did you mean when you said or did that? 
Did you mean something bad about me?
What if something bad was to happen?
.
These thoughts are normal but they are not facts & those thoughts come from our perceptions but perceptions can change.
.
So if you find yourself what iffing the worst, try to step in with some balance.
.
'I know my mind is protecting me but it doesn't mean its perception is correct. What if it went very well? Ah didn't think about that. Yes thats a possibility too. Plus what we believe might happen will effect our thoughts, feelings & behaviours which will=the outcome 
.
Example 
Perception: What if I fail?
Thought: you will look silly
Feel: Worried, anxious 
Behaviours : avoid this
Outcome : never know what they are capable of.
.
You can intercept a normal thought with some acceptance & a question.
.
Ok but what if i learn lots?
Thought : I could gain more confidence in this subject?
Feel : Optimistic, interested
Behaviours : look for more info, join in.
Outcome : Starts experiencing something new, realises new is a good thing, an opportunity. That thay are capable.
.
Try not to beat yourself up for thoughts, they are all normal but which ones are you going to repeat to yourself? Helpful ones or limited.
You get to choose. 
.

Dolphins in Foster, NSW - weekend away trip - with sounds of seagulls and Mags excited to see the cormorants at the water's edge. The sunset and views were amazing.

Here is a post of me at the gym. The volume is not working with the upload to Padlet. What I was saying in the video was that I workout at the gym weekly to work on my strength training. While I am at the gym, I listen to a self-care podcast or something to enhance my professional life. After completing the workout, I feel so refreshed! What activity do you like to complete to improve your well-being and reset your mindset?
