Feeling out of Touch? Let’s expand our Nervous System…

You know that feeling when your body just feels like it’s in shambles? You’re exhausted, you’ve been surviving on iced coffee or gallons of sweet tea. You’re stressed, feeling pushed to your limit, like that straw that broke the camel’s back is going to land on you at any moment and you’re just going to lose it. All you want is some peace and productivity.

Lose it on your coworkers, your kids, your friends, your mom, your spouse – whoever just happens to be in your path whenever the storm hits.

Well – Episode 192 of It’s About Time is about the opposite of that feeling, and helping you get to a place where you’re less likely to explode in the future. 

Recently I began digging deeper into the role that our nervous system plays in the way we show up. Our nervous system helps all parts of the body communicate with each other. And it reacts to changes both inside and outside of our bodies. 

So often when we feel overwhelmed or stressed, we try to solve the way we feel from the outside in. We numb out with TV or phone scrolling, we eat junk food or hit the snooze button too many times. Or maybe we try to get organized, declutter or revamp our schedules. 

MEET MICHELLE GROSSER

But today’s guest, Michelle Grosser, is here to explain how we can feel more present, more productive and procrastinate less from the inside out – by regulating our nervous systems. And we’re diving into exactly what that means in the realm of peace and productivity in today’s episode.
