Burnout Recovery 10 Minute Nervous System Reset for Inner Peace

If you feel exhausted but your mind won't stop racing, your experiencing burnout. This is more than just being tired. It is a nervous system that has forgotten how to feel and find safety. In the next 10 minutes, we are going to initiate a burnout recovery protocol to bring you back to a state of inner peace and mental fitness.

Welcome to calming anxiety. I'm so glad you've joined me for this session. Today is all about burnout recovery and the nervous system reset. If you find that your battery is constantly on-read, my anxiety circuit breaker course is the perfect tool to help you rebuild your emotional resilience from the ground up.

Find the link in the show notes below. Let's begin by addressing your physiological state. Find your quiet place now, somewhere comfy, where you won't be disturbed for a while. You can set or lie down, whichever you prefer.

And cross your legs and arms and open in calmness and clarity. So close your eyes. We are going to practice vagus nerve toning. Inhale deeply into your belly for four seconds, then hold it for two and then exhale for long, slow, rush for about eight seconds.

Do this with me. Ready? In. Two.

Three. Four. Hold. Two.

Exhale. Two. Three. Four.

Five. Six. Seven. Eight.

Well done. Just have a rest from that for a moment and then we'll do it again. Ready? Inhale.

Two. Three. Four. Hold.

Two. Exhale. Two. Three.

Four. Five. Six. Seven.

Eight. As you do this, you are manually. Switching your body from the fight or flight mode to rest and repair.

Feel the weight of your body against the chair or bed. This is felt safety. Allow the heavy, dark clouds of burnout and chronic stress. To simply rise from your chest as if evaporating before they disappear.

You aren't doing anything right now. You are simply allowing your nervous system to return to its natural rhythm.

All the feelings around your body searching out areas of tension or stress and then breathe into them. And as you exhale, imagine all the small muscle fibres loosening and winding, lengthening, allowing yourself to truly deeply release the negativity of the day and find deep within your perfect moment of calm. Back now, deeper and deeper and deeper still.

And within the beauty of this moment, within the sanctuary of your consciousness, visualize these wonderful words of positive change. And once seen and heard, repeat them either silently within your own thoughts or whisper them. But relax with every out-reth and visualize a soft golden light surrounding you like a warm blanket. This is your space for recovery.

And as you rest here, feel inner peace and embodied wisdom. Imagine and repeat. I am allowed to rest without explanation.

My nervous system is returning to a state of calm and balance.

I am rebuilding my mental fitness one breath at a time.

I am safe, I am protected and I am recovering.

Imagine this golden light repairing the freight edges of your energy. You are moving from depletion to rhythmic health. You are not failing, you are refueling. Imagine seeing yourself standing steady and quiet, free from the noise of the world.

And then once more, in the beauty of your mind's eye, visualize and repeat.

I am allowed to rest without explanation.

My nervous system is returning to a state of calm and balance.

I am rebuilding my mental fitness one breath at a time.

I am safe, I am protected and I am recovering.

And still, ever deeper, you imagine yourself drifting. Reuniting mind, body and soul in harmony to create a new way of thinking, of feeling and reacting. Even with self-compassion, with understanding, because simply put, you are worthy.

To carry this in a piece with you into your day, remember these three caring tips. For practice, a digital detox for the next hour. Allow your brain the rest from the information overload. To focus on rhythmic health by stepping outside for a few minutes of daylight to reset your internal clock.

And three. Work in with your body every hour and ask, where am I holding tension and simply breathe into that area and allow it to go. Now let's bring your focus back into the room. Wiggle your fingers and toes, feel the sensations firing back up.

Make a deep in breath and on the exhalation stretch out the muscles in your arms and legs. And now open your eyes. And thank you, not just for turning up but for looking after you today.
