Simple Techniques to Switch off Your Stress Autopilot!

Organic futon lovers will be well aware of the need to weave peace and wellbeing into their lifestyle in order to achieve optimal health, but more often than not, our busy lifestyles result in us travelling on autopilot, speeding up and never putting on the brakes on until our engine burns out. A fascinating article I read today by M.D Gayatri Devi highlighted the importance of applying the brakes now and agin in order to give our body a rest. She suggests that by activating our Vagus nerve, we do just that, they are like the brakes of our body that we forget to use. So her top tips are: • Uni-task instead of multi-tasking, take the dog out for a walk and leave your phone at home for example • Meditate every day • Get a good nights sleep • Touch activates the vagus nerve, so hugging is good for you!
