Exactly.

Yeah.

I mean, that's beautifully said.

I view the nervous system as literally a lens through which we experience reality.

And I think our state of our nervous system and the degree to which we're in a mode of reactivity completely dictates our experience of life.

Yes.

I mean, it's like doing reps at a gym, right?

It does take practice, but our nervous systems are neuroplastic, along with our brain.

And so with practice, we can rewire these maladaptive responses to stress.

So some signs would include anxiety.

Forms of reactivity.

So if your knee jerk anger is obviously a clear one, or if there's a sense of fatigue or lethargy, or sleep is obviously a huge one as well.

That's a big symptom of nervous system dysregulation.

What, that we can't sleep?

That we wake up, struggle to fall asleep, struggle to kind of downshift at the end of the day without kind of using substances.

And also I think challenge in relationship is a huge one that I see in my students.

So whether it's kind of conflict in different areas or challenges with creating a sense of connection with people that are close to you, there's a lot.

Early symptoms of burnout is another one as well.

So I think about it in terms of like feather brick dump truck.

And in the beginning, maybe your nervous system is telling you like, almost like tickling you with a feather of like, maybe you're going a little bit too hard.
