When stress levels kick in we shift into the sympathetic nervous system
When we are calm and relaxed we shift into the parasympathetic nervous system.
Different forms of breathing techniques and meditation can help us build up resilience into learning how to stay in the parasympathetic nervous system much longer throughout the day.
