My HRV is 15- and has been low for the last few years. My body needs some TLC.
A plan is in place but I have WORK to do. I am really working on my baseline state not being fight or flight.
These are my overarching goals the next 12 weeks… but I also need to breathe with purpose, try and not mouth breathe overnight, keep my workouts calm and not too “stressful” on my already stressed out body.
My “go go go” muscle is really strong. To-do lists, kids schedules, sports, work, hormone shifts, sleep debt, the constant on-ness of life is our normal. I am used to this state and tbh I don’t feel stressed, but my data doesn’t lie. Now, I startle very easy (and we always joke about my dysregulated nervous
system… but maybe there is some truth to that)
My “rest and digest” muscle is a limp noodle.
I am looking into all sorts of things- but I can’t exactly overhaul my life. Michael will still travel. Evan will still be a driver in one month. We will still be navigating two schools and two kids playing sports, I L❤️VE my work and don’t want to pause. See what I mean? Not bad problems just a busy life that has my body crying on the inside apparently.
My body is really so locked in at being ON. It’s not very good and turning OFF tho.
How do you calm down? What’s your HRV? I am doing a DEEP dive but let’s start a collaborative conversation here ❤️ Please 🙏🏻 and thank you!
I’ll share more about what I’m trying but if you want a sneak peek- leave a comment 👇🏻and I’ll give you the first look. Love, BB
