?????????????????? ???????? + ?????????????????????? ????????-???????? = ?????????? ???????? Have you ever felt overwhelmed despite having a seemingly relaxed schedule? In mid-June, I attended the Polyvagal Institute conference in Potsdam, Germany, and it reminded me of the importance and role of our nervous system. I'm not an expert, but I stay curious about my inner experiences. And my hope is to encourage you to explore what’s happening within yourself. Over the weekend, I spent 2.5 days at the conference, after a few hours trip to Berlin a day before. On Monday, my schedule seemed relaxed with a slow start, two calls, catching up on messages, buying groceries, and reconnecting with my sister before a long-haul flight on Tuesday. Yet, despite the seemingly relaxed schedule, the day felt packed ?? That evening, during my last "to-do," I realized my nervous system was activated. Initially, I thought it was due to meeting an old friend - do you recall this childlike excitement? ?? However, I recognized that I hadn’t allowed enough space for the self-care necessary for regulation. My daily routine is crucial to my well-being, but I had overlooked the cumulative weight of the past few days. My key takeaway: Overwhelm isn’t just about the tasks we dread—those are easier to identify. It often stems from the relentless pace and heavy load we place on ourselves with the tasks we love to do. In our pursuit of accomplishment, we forget to give ourselves grace. ?????? So let me ask you: - how have you been in the last three days? - how many tasks have you actually accomplished (count all of them)? - how have you been treating yourself lately, and what feelings accompany your answers? It’s time to rethink how we balance our lives. How will you adjust your pace to honor your well-being?

'Do the things that bring you joy' - this is going to help regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and tell your brain you are safe ?? It can be really hard to balance self care with everything that's going on in our lives, and we can't always take time off, as Jessica O'Dwyer says, during our cycle. Sometimes, feeling like we should be doing self care causes us more stress when we can't fit it in! This simple tip of carving time for the things you enjoy is a great way to reduce stress without putting too much pressure on yourself. You can watch the full talks from our female wellness flagship via our website, and discover our upcoming flagships on 'States of consciousness' and 'Burnout and Boundaries'!

Let’s talk about self-care. In my client work and in my content, I often refer to “meaningful self-care” as a way to nurture yourself through particularly stressful situations or difficult emotions. I wanted to explain what I mean by that. We often think of self-care as something that nourishes your body—a massage, a pedicure, a bubble bath... When I suggest investing time in meaningful self-care, I’m talking about something deeper—practices that build resilience, restore your depleted energy, and sooth a nervous system that might be stuck in fight-or-flight. Self-care in this context is about tuning into your authentic needs and responding with deep compassion and care. It’s about listening to your body, deciphering its insightful-but-coded messages, and delivering the right “medicine” at the right time. That medicine might be movement, it might be rest. It might be learning or quiet reflection. It might be time in nature, singing, or creating something with your hands. Meaningful self-care is something that reminds you of your inherent value and makes you feel grounded, whole, and alive. And it’s perfectly tailored to you and your individual needs.

Kelli Harding MD MPH explores an emerging science between purpose and health that shows how living with a sense of purpose has implications for physical health. Higher life purpose can support sleep quality, cognitive functioning, better immune system, and mental wellbeing. It can decrease the risk of stroke by 72% and heart disease by 44%. Living with a sense of purpose can even give us seven more years of good health! Dr. Kelli Harding prescribed us with three doses of purpose. First, trust that you are on the right path and allow this to open up possibilities for you. Reframe failure as successfully finding out what doesn’t work. What would you do even if you might fail? Second, it takes a dose of creativity to infuse joy into your life and the lives of others. How can you switch up your routines and share your passion with others in creative ways? Third, it takes a dose of learning to find purpose, and fortunately, learning is a lifelong endeavor. Watch full keynote here: https://lnkd.in/eFdGehdB
