Reset Your Nervous System Fast: 3 Polyvagal Exercises
Struggling to settle after stress? In this episode, licensed therapist and Mind+Body coach Travis Goodman teaches three polyvagal-informed practices to reset your nervous system quickly and safely. You'll learn how to orient to safety cues, ground through the senses, and use lengthened exhale breathing to activate the vagal brake. These simple, science-backed techniques help you move from fight/flight or shutdown back to calm connection. Perfect for busy men, dads, and leaders who need a fast, reliable way to self-regulate without white-knuckling it.
What you'll learn:
• Polyvagal exercises to regulate your nervous system fast
• How to orient and scan your environment for safety
• 3-sense grounding to exit rumination and return to the present
• Lengthened-exhale breathing to stimulate the vagus nerve and settle your heart rate
• Why "reset first, solve second" prevents reactivity and burnout
