"Through simple exercises, we can produce powerful effects that propagate throughout the whole body and mind," says Dr. Khazan. "This can make the task of regulating ourselves and our emotions a lot easier than it otherwise appears."
Self-regulation is the nervous system's ability to achieve the sweet spot of activation, which varies depending on the circumstances we are facing. Once the challenge is over, self-regulation helps us to fully recover to a homeostatic state.
The nervous system is at the core of our experience of the world. What comes in through our perceptions is not under our control-it's just what's happening. But how we respond is where we have choices.
