Everyone is talking about healing your nervous system, and almost all of it comes down to another protocol, another supplement, another practice to squeeze into a day that is already full.

In this episode, we go the other way. The fastest way to heal your nervous system is to do nothing, which also happens to be the hardest thing in the world for a human being to do.

We’ll go through the five things you are doing right now that keep your system switched on. The scrolling. The coffee. The food. The silence you keep filling. And the worry your body cannot tell apart from the real thing.

Discover why healing your nervous system was never about what you add, and how much calmer life becomes when you simply stop doing the things keeping you wired.

Memorable Quotes“Caffeine doesn’t actually give you energy. It suppresses the tired molecule. So you’re literally pouring gas onto the fire and burning the candle at both ends.”“A lot of times we think about resting as resting the physical body, but really, rest is resting our attention. You can be physically still but neurologically hyperactive.”“Your brain doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality. So when you’re sitting in the living room worrying about your bank account and imagining you’ll end up living under a bridge, your nervous system experiences that as real.”Connect With David
