Quietness and stillness may be the most powerful superdrug and superfood we have. #NervousSystem

Quietness and stillness is the new super drug and superfood. And yet today in our culture, we're run ragged. We don't have time to self reflect, to sit back and think. Just think. Example for 150 years ago, before electricity and lights, everybody had this time you're forced to because the sun went down and it would come up later. Now with lights, technology, screens, we don't actually have a time for us to actually contemplate, to journal, to think about what happened today and what you're going to do tomorrow. And this has an impact on your nervous system, has impact on your gut health. For example, just sitting, taking a few deep breaths and contemplating can change how you digest your food. 25% of digestive enzymes are released just by experiencing your food, smelling it and looking at it. So something as basic as a meditative practice, a self awareness practice, a settling practice, can literally change how you digest your food. That's how important this kind of idea is calming your nervous system. If you'd like to learn more about this, we have a whole bunch of resources on our website. But you really need to learn to have some kind of practice on a daily basis to calm your nervous system. It'll be super critical for your healing journey.
