Breathwork

She recommends the 3-6 breathing, where you breathe in for three and exhale for six.

Walking

Walking for at least 15 minutes not only aids in regulating the nervous system but has plenty of other benefits.

Dancing/shaking

Moving your body through dancing aids wonderfully in regulating your nervous system.

Legs up the wall

This yoga pose that involves lying on the ground and putting your legs up the wall aids in relaxation and blood circulation.

Cold exposure

Olivia advises that you can opt for an ice facial that involves submerging your face in a bowl of ice, a cold shower, or a cold plunge.

ETF tapping

Emotional freedom tapping(EFT)  is a self-regulation technique that involves tapping at various points of your face and body while thinking of the negative thoughts and emotions that you want to release.

Olivia advises us to use Brad Yates’s YouTube videos on EFT.

Grounding

Connecting to the earth by touching dirt, sand, or any other natural surface grounds, you can even do it barefoot.

Screaming

Olivia discloses that she screams in her car while on the highway and it totally works.

Humming

She says, “Humming stimulates your vagus nerve, and that keeps your nervous system regulated.”

Direct sunlight in the morning

She advises that we should get sunlight on our eyes in the morning (you don’t have to look into the sun).

Stay off the phone for the first 30 minutes after waking up
