Do you ever feel anxious or stressed without knowing why? This could be a response from your nervous system, which is trying to protect you from any danger. In this episode, I talk about what your nervous system is and how it works. I also share some easy, realistic ways to calm your nervous system when it's in survival mode- like slowing down and showing yourself that you're safe.
