Nervous System Reset Experiment

Nervous System Reset

Wake up

Let your brain feel safe in your body.

Pick one:

• Yoga
• Walk
• Meditate

Observe

You need to be someone who takes care of himself today. Then tomorrow. Then the next day.

• When you reach for your phone,
  • Ask, what do I actually need right now?
• Your thoughts:
  • Don't judge them.
• When you feel dysregulation:
  • 5 Minute cold shower
  • Box breathing
  • Vigorous movement
  • Humming or singing
  • Talk to someone

Sleep

Poor sleep -> dysregulated nervous system -> no motivation.

Pick one:

• List 3 Things I'm grateful for.
  • I'm grateful I got ready and it feels good to look good and take more care of myself.
• How I felt? What caused it? How I'd like to feel tomorrow?

Rules

Instead of committing to giant changes forever, run 2-week experiments.

• First Day: Today (Oct 11th: 7 PM); Last day: Day 14 (Oct 25th: 7 PM)
• Non-City Day: Bed by 10 PM; City Day: Walk towards Penn by 10 PM
• Set a daily intent. Wear Oura Ring.

After 2 weeks, "Did this make me feel more safe, excited, and alive? Should I keep it, adjust it, or try something else?"
