In this video, explain the gist of how the nervous system reacts to stress, and I introduce the concept of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and polyvagal theory in a fun and easy-to-follow way. I also offer guidelines on how to use body-based activities like diaphragmatic breathing, laughter, alcohol cessation, and forest bathing to cultivate a calmer, happier, more focused version of yourself.
