Lasting stress and challenging experiences leave an imprint on our body. When we have a demanding career and busy lifestyles practicing self-care can feel like one more action item that needs to be completed. But constantly choosing work over self-care won’t allow the body to move back to a regulated nervous system state, and often causes anxiety, depression, overwhelm and insomnia. How to move forward? When self-care is key to a regulated nervous system and mind-body health carving time out of your day to practice self-care is essential. But self-care doesn’t have to be time consuming. The right practices will not only allow you to show up as the best version of yourself in business and in your life, but will also bring you time effectively back to balance so you can achieve your goals. Stress accumulates in the body so we need to work with the body, the "soma" to release it. With the right somatic practices you will not only stop choosing between your goals and a regulated nervous system, but you will also accelerate in life and in your journey toward your goals with resilience, calm and balance.
