Does it feel like a bear is chasing you?

Does anyone else feel like the speed of life has gone from 60 to 100? Between packed schedules, the pace of technology, Q4 goals, the news cycle, it's hard to catch our breath. Not to mention halloween costumes and holiday planning.

We talk about showing up as our "best selves," but when our nervous system is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze (that feeling like we are being chased 🐻 ) we cannot access our full potential. We react instead of respond. We burn out faster.

BUT: Supporting your nervous system isn't mystical. Small shifts make a real difference.

✨ Movement – Take a walk. A few minutes of walking or stretching shifts your mental state
✨ Boundaries – What can you say no to? Protecting your energy can do wonders for your performance
✨ Breathe – Extend your exhale longer than your inhale to slow down your heart rate
✨ Transitions – Take 5 minutes between meetings to release and reset
✨ Sleep – Your nervous system repairs when you rest

When we prioritize nervous system health, we think clearer, connect deeper, and show up with real presence.

More on this soon… but in the meantime, think about which one of these simple acts you will honor yourself with today.
