@drlindseyschmidt: How I calm down here ⬇️ P.S. If you’re inside SomaSync, you’re all set, girl! 👏 Now, let’s get into it… Parts of the ear have a branch of what’s called the vagus nerve. Why do we care about the vagus nerve? Well, it’s the biggest nerve in our rest-digest-drain nervous system. When we gently stimulate it, we can encourage a greater sense of calm and help support nervous system regulation. The best part? You don’t have to use a Q-tip. You can simply massage your ears or gently glide your fingers over them with slow, light movements. You might notice a yawn, more saliva in your mouth, or a deep exhale… little cues that your body may be shifting into a more parasympathetic, rest-and-digest state. ☺️ Should I start a quick de-stressing series like this? I feel like it could be so helpful for everyday life. That said, I always think it’s even better to be proactive and build up your nervous system with intentional resets throughout the week!
