What are your go to nervous system reset rituals/ products / routines?

Question

Gabriela Riccardi · Answer

Tapestry by Carole King: Are you in a bad mood? Depleted by the horrors of late-stage colonial-capitalism and the pandemonic state of the world at large? Sad! Allow me to reintroduce you to Ms. King, writer of songs that create the auditory equivalent of chamomile tea and maybe half a benzodiazepine. When you start spiraling about The State of Things, I really recommend you flip on Tapestry, in its vinyl format if possible, and let Carole soothe you as the earth moves under her (our) feet.

range by kara duval: i found this rec on Rec League and WOW. to think that this little community of people has already guided me to something that feels so integral to my wellness. i crave working out now (who among us???) when i know it’s going to be a range class. every single one leaves me feeling regulated and strong, energized and at peace. kara is such a calming presence. i seriously cannot recommend enough. sometimes i run out of time and do these in the evenings, but it’s always a special treat when i manage to squeeze it in in the morning. she has tons of free classes (“open range”) you can try to get a sense of the vibe. do NOT turn your nose up at jitterbug based on the description. just try it. there’s no way you don’t love it.

How do you calm down?: I had a thought... Can I use this platform to ask for recommendations? Let's try this out. :) (I'd pay for this service.)

Recommendation wanted: What's your best way to calm down?

You might know the state: tense muscles, racing thoughts, anxious. Your nervous system is on fire. What's your most helpful method to get back to calmness and inner peace? The more specific you can be, the better. For example, it could be a specific video, a specific music song, a specific meditation exercise, a specific sequence of steps.
