The nervous system doesn’t just react randomly - it’s shaped by experiences, especially early in life. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🟢 ➝ If a child grows up in a safe and nurturing environment, their nervous system learns to switch between stress and relaxation smoothly. 🔴 ➝ If a child experiences neglect, unpredictability, or trauma, their nervous system may learn that safety is temporary, and stress is the default state. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ This means that even in adulthood, a stressful job, a raised voice, or uncertainty can trigger deep survival responses from the past—because the nervous system never learned how to fully relax.

@MrOldOther1 Yeah, I'm still trying to put it into words, it's more like a gut feeling, something you feel deep down. What do you think?

@thefraggle1975 Exactly, and in a way, the outside world is built to reinforce our survival patterns. Nice 😅. Understanding is key to avoiding pitfalls and avoiding discouragment.

@therichaverma Thanks for the input :) You're spot on! Breathing exercises are a straightforward way to manage our nervous system. Add in some relaxation techniques and natural movements, and you really boost the benefits!!
