Today I’m going to talk less about business and more about the nervous system. Back in 2012 I was diagnosed with an auto-immune response to many different foods, so I began to look into different practices to help balance my nervous system. A friend mentioned that I should share a bit about this since many people don’t realise these tools exist - physical and mental things that you can use to improve your daily life, and entrepreneurship in general. I hope they help you as much as they’ve helped me! Topics DiscussedBreaking down blue light and how it can interrupt our sleep patternsHow constant noise can wear down your nervous systemWhy I love my weighted blanketNon-physical (and free) things you can do to protect your nervous systemThe importance of subtle energy and how it can affect you day to dayVisit this episode's blog post here: https://emmalouiseparkes.com/hacking-your-nervous-system-for-successConnect with Emma-Louise on Instagram: @emmalouparkesCONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: 👉🏼 Join Introvert 2.0 this September - the small group mastermind created just for ambitious introverts like you Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkesSign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here.PREMIUM SUPPORT: Interested in working with me 1:1?
