Do you suffer from stress and anxiety? Can one negative event sometimes spin you out for the whole day? Maybe someone cuts you up in traffic, you get a negative comment on a social media post, or someone from your past sends you a text message and suddenly you're ruminating and worrying, and you just can't snap out of it? If this sounds familiar, you might be suffering from what's referred to as low vagal tone and resetting your vagus nerve could help.

In this video we'll talk about vagal tone and some vagus nerve reset exercises that you can use at home to help you find more emotional balance.

ANATOMY
Your autonomic nervous system has two main branches – your sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight), and parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest). Your vagus nerve – your body’s 10th cranial nerve, which travels from your brain throughout your thoracic cavity – is largely responsible for your parasympathetic nervous system response.

Anxious people often struggle to activate their parasympathetic nervous system response in difficult situations. This is known as having low vagal tone. Someone with high vagal tone also feels the initial stress, but they are able to self-soothe and get on with their day, unlike someone with low vagal tone who may ruminate over a difficult event or situation for much longer. We can't bulletproof ourselves against negative stimuli, but we can balance our nervous systems so that we respond rather than react when faced with them.

Good sleep, health, and exercise are all beneficial for promoting high vagal tone, but there are also some medically backed tricks that can be really effective for resetting yours in the short term.

COMMON SIGNS OF LOW VAGAL TONE
1) Feeling anxious and stressed
2) Feeling overwhelmed with worry
3) Feeling wired but tired
