Nov 08, 2023
Question from a client:
"As a founder, I've started to notice myself getting stressed easily. Do you have any techniques that could help me regulate my nervous system quickly?"
Read on for 3 powerful techniques that I use with all our entrepreneurs, experts and leaders.

Regulation of your nervous system is what helps you move out of survival mode and into creative mode.
When I began coaching, I didn't incorporate these mind-body techniques at the start of every session. As a result, I couldn't take the clients deep enough to permeate their subconscious.
I would get the answer, “I don’t know”, to questions.
They were displaying dysregulated nervous systems and hence couldn't access the wisdom of the body.
Listen to your body. If throughout the day you feel stressed, pay attention to the body’s tension and ask it questions.
“The body keeps the score.”
