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.
