SLP 533: Self Love Quicky - Calm the Chaos


Listen Later

In this week’s quicky Kim focuses on understanding sympathetic dominance, a state of constant nervous system activation that can be triggered by modern activities and leads to various physical symptoms and chronic stress. Kim discussed the functions of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, emphasising the importance of balance and highlighting how prolonged sympathetic dominance can negatively impact overall health. Kim discusses simple, powerful practices to shift back into your parasympathetic nervous system to the place where your body rests, digests, heals and reconnects with joy. From breathwork and aromatherapy to gentle movement, nourishment, boundaries, and rituals, these tools help you re-teach your body what safety feels like.

All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com.

Quotes:

Sympathetic dominance is that wired but tired feeling. The constant ‘on’ mode where your nervous system believes you are in danger even when you are doing little things like checking texts or emails.
Our nervous system has two main branches, the sympathetic and parasympathetic.
Your sympathetic nervous system is your fight, flight, or freeze mode.
Your parasympathetic system is your rest, digest and heal mode where your body restores, digests food, balance hormones and allows you to sleep more deeply.

Science shows that prolonged activation of the stress responses raises inflammation, impacts, blood sugar control and alters our gut brain axis.

This is why self care is so important and isn’t indulgent. It is vital for nervous system repair.
Slow, diaphragmatic breathing is the fastest way to turn off the stress response.
Essential oils work directly with the limbic system, the emotional brain and oils like lavender, frankincense, neroli and ylang ylang remind the body how to relax.
Gentle movement tells your nervous system that you have escaped danger. It resets the loop. It is about presence not punishment.
Touch and connection help with regulation. Oxytocin is nature’s antidote to stress chemistry.
Eat real food, slow down when you eat and become fully present when eating.
Blackcurrant performance powder supports the adrenals and can calm inflammation.
Every ping from your phone triggers a micro stress response. Let your nervous system remember silence is actually ok.
Prioritise rest and create daily and evening rituals. Rituals remind the body it is well and safe, and it is ok to let go.
Sympathetic dominance isn’t who you are. It is just a state we have learned to live in and we can unlearn it.
The path back to balance starts with intentionality and awareness.
