Day 10 of the 30-Day Nervous System Reset and today’s practice is a BUTTERFLY hug technique. 
Cross your arms over your chest with hands on opposite shoulders & tap each shoulder alternately while breathing slowly. This calms the nervous system by activating BILATERAL STIMULATION bringing the brain and body back into balance .

Alternative - hug and rub your shoulders while you hum or hug a 🌳 tree.

Or simply hold your own  hands as a small signal yo the body you are safe. 

Give it a go and let me know which technique you like best !
