@yourgotomumcoach: Breathing & the Vagus Nerve The vagus nerve is a key part of your parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s “rest and digest” mode. Slow, deep breathing (especially long exhales) activates the vagus nerve. When the vagus nerve is stimulated, it sends a signal to your brain: “Everything’s safe” Heart rate slows Blood pressure drops Stress hormones reduce You feel calmer and more in control. Why inhale 4, exhale 6 works Exhale longer than inhale = strongest vagus nerve activation. Even just 1–2 minutes can help reset your nervous system. Give it a whirl. when you get distracted keep returning to your breathing.❤️ #Anxietymanagement #nervousystemreset #overwhelmedmum #calmparenting #emorionalregulation
