3 Ways to Restore and Nourish Your Nervous System

Do you find yourself feeling frazzled often for having to constantly multitask while juggling between work and life’s obligations? Do you always feel like you’re in a rush and you just can’t catch a break? Almost anyone in the world today has experienced feeling overworked and drained. If so, it may be a sign that your nervous system needs some tender loving care.

For many people, this perpetual state of tiredness may be a normal part of life. But it’s not. We are not meant to feel listless all the time. At Novus Giri, we believe that rest is key to restoring balance, so today we’re going to share some tips on how to nourish your nervous system.

Stick with us and let’s start your journey towards a better you.

1. Learn to let go and take a long deep breath
Whenever you feel tense, stressed out, or anxious, it will make your nervous system work overtime. Deep breathing is one of the most effective ways to calm your over-activated nervous system. Five minutes a day is all you need to reduce stress and give your nervous system the break it deserves. We recommend starting with 4-7-8 breaths where you inhale through your nose for a count of four, holding for a count of seven, and exhaling out for a count of 8. Give it a try to promote a sense of peace and well-being.

2. Try low simulation activity
Many of us lead busy lives that leaves almost no room for rest. Even if we do take respite, we’ll end up filling the void by catching up with friends over the phone, watching our favorite shows on Netflix, or running errands that have been put on hold. While there’s nothing wrong with doing activities that make us feel happy, it can be a little overstimulating for our nervous system which craves space and silence. Swap your go-to activities with forest bathing, walking meditations, doodling, gardening, or even listening to music — the aim is to feed it with the minimum amount of stimulation possible.
When you need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, we invite you to visit Novus Giri. Located in Puncak Raya's enchanting hill town where there are plenty of greeneries, your stay with us at our resort offers total relaxation far away from any distractions whether it be work obligations back home.

3. Cuddle up or hug your loved ones
The power of the human touch is a force to be reckoned with. A hug or a cuddle from loved ones can help to soothe our nervous system instantly by releasing ‘love hormones’ known as endorphins and oxytocin. Just a quick 20-second hug can boost the immune system and reduce stress, so if you’re feeling anxious or stressed out, reach out and hug your partner. It’s free, too!

Nourishing your nervous system is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Luckily, it's also one of the easiest. All you need are a few minutes each day to practice some simple nerve-restoring techniques.
