For years, I struggled with a long list of chronic health issues. I tried every diet, supplement, and protocol out there, hoping for relief. But no matter what I did, something was missing. It wasn’t until I began focusing on healing my nervous system that things finally started to shift.
Many chronic health problems stem from a nervous system that’s stuck in a fight-or-flight state, constantly on high alert. This dysregulation can lead to a variety of physical and emotional health issues that often feel impossible to resolve through conventional or even many holistic methods.
Once I realized this, I became obsessed with understanding how the nervous system works and what it truly needs to heal. Through my journey, I discovered the practices that had the most profound impact on restoring balance and healing. I’m excited to share these practices with you, so you can experience transformation, just like I did.
1. Switching from a Fixing Mindset to a Healing Mindset
One of the most important shifts in my journey was moving from a “fixing” mindset to a “healing” mindset. In our culture, we’re often conditioned to view ourselves as broken when we experience physical or emotional pain. We think we need to “fix” the problem, solve it, or eradicate it. But healing isn’t about fixing something that’s broken. It’s about accepting yourself as you are—imperfect but whole—and allowing yourself to grow through challenges. When you stop seeing yourself as broken, you open the door to a deeper, more sustainable healing process. A healing mindset fosters patience, self-compassion, and the belief that you can transform your life, no matter what has happened in the past. This shift is fundamental because, without it, true healing can’t take place. You cannot heal if you are constantly in a state of resistance, trying to fight against yourself.
2. Learning How to Process Repressed Emotions
Unprocessed emotions are one of the most significant contributors to nervous system dysregulation. When we experience pain, trauma, or stress, we often suppress or repress our emotions as a way of coping. Over time, these unresolved emotions build up, putting your nervous system in a constant state of fight-or-flight. Learning how to safely process and release repressed emotions is one of the most powerful tools for healing the nervous system. When you allow yourself to feel and express what you’ve been holding inside, you restore balance and shift your body from stress mode into a state of rest and repair. This is essential for long-term health and wellness. If we don’t express our emotions, they tend to stay trapped in the body, which can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and even disease. This practice is not just about venting—it’s about acknowledging and safely releasing what’s been buried. The act of expressing your emotions can free up energy and restore vital balance to your nervous system.
3. Mastering Proper Breathing Patterns
Breathing isn’t just something you do to stay alive—it’s an incredibly powerful tool for calming the nervous system. Every breath you take either moves your body toward fight-or-flight mode or towards a healing, parasympathetic state. In today’s fast-paced world, many of us have learned poor breathing habits that only exacerbate stress and anxiety. Shallow, rapid breathing can keep you stuck in fight-or-flight, preventing your body from entering a restorative state. By mastering proper breathing techniques, you activate the vagus nerve, the body’s largest nerve, which helps shift your nervous system back into a balanced state. Slow, deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation, digestion, and healing. Breathwork is a simple yet highly effective practice that you can incorporate into your daily life to regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and foster healing.
4. Working on Subconscious Mind Patterns That Aren’t Aligned with Healing
Your subconscious mind is a powerful force that shapes your beliefs, behaviors, and responses to life. However, if your subconscious mind is programmed with limiting beliefs, old trauma, or negative thought patterns, it can trigger stress responses, sabotage your healing, and keep you stuck in chronic health issues.
Reprogramming the subconscious mind is essential for breaking the cycle of nervous system dysregulation. By identifying and transforming limiting beliefs and unhealed trauma, you can create new thought patterns that support your healing journey.
Mindset work—such as guided visualization, affirmations, and subconscious reprogramming techniques—can help you shift deep-seated beliefs and create a foundation for lasting change. The power of your mind is immense, and aligning your subconscious with your healing goals is a game-changer.
5. Mastering Mindfulness – The Antidote to Anxiety
Mindfulness is one of the most effective ways to restore balance to your nervous system. In a world that’s always busy, we often feel overwhelmed, anxious, and disconnected from our true selves. But when we practice mindfulness, we’re able to be with our experience, without judgment or resistance.
By cultivating a mindful attitude, we break the cycle of avoidance and anxiety. Instead of reacting to every thought or emotion, mindfulness teaches us to observe them with curiosity and acceptance. This non-reactive awareness helps the nervous system settle, return to a state of calm, and move from stress to healing. Mindfulness can take many forms, from meditation and mindful movement to simply being present in your daily activities. The more you practice, the easier it becomes to tap into a sense of peace and safety, no matter what life throws your way.
