154 – Are You Actually Resting or Just Numbing Out? 3 Powerful Ways to Recharge and Reset Your Nervous System

There’s a difference between actually resting and being stuck in the dorsal vagal state –the state where we’re dissociated, disconnected, and spaced out. And sometimes it can be hard to know that difference.  We can catch ourselves binging Netflix, scrolling social media, and staring at screens thinking we’re “resting” – but do those activies actually allow our bodies to re-charge and re-energize?   In today’s episode, I coach on what’s happening in your body when you actually rest, versus what’s going on when you’re in a dissociated state.   We close this episode out with 3 powerful ways to recharge yourself – mind, body, and soul to allow your nervous system to rest and reset.   TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ!    BOOK A FREE 30-MINUTE CALL WITH MICHELLE    FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom Collective    JOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!  --🧠 What's your capacity pattern? Take the free 2-minute quiz and unlock The Capacity Code — a personalized private podcast episode for your specific nervous system. → Take the Capacity Pattern Quiz
