The nervous system should feel calm and safe at all times to stay regulated. "Nervous system regulation doesn’t have to be big. It can be the subtle shifts throughout our day or intentional changes we tweak within our lifestyle. Our nervous system has an innate knowledge of what feels safe and what does not. When we begin to understand our triggers, roots, and ways of feeling safe, we begin to unlock a more easeful flow to life. Healing is often a mix of insight, education and intentional shifts," wrote Psychologist Kelly Vincent.(Shutterstock)
