Understanding the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems

To achieve emotional and physiological well-being, one must differentiate between desires arising from fear or insecurity and genuine needs for social connection and service to others. Engaging in altruistic actions activates the parasympathetic nervous system, fostering a state of rest and digestion, which enables optimal cognitive function and manifests better outcomes.
