This recording talks about the crucial role of routines in brain health, automating decisions and saving time. Valerie discussed trauma, the autonomic nervous system, and resistance to routine, emphasizing the overdevelopment of the vagus nerve due to trauma. The discussion leads to the strategies for establishing new routines, coping with clutter as a protective mechanism, and gradual decluttering. The conversation continues into overcoming fear, trauma, and self-destructive routines through self-awareness, including the use of the Doers Reset tool. And a few members find it challenging in creating routines after significant life changes are addressed, with emphasis on taking control despite resistance. Which leads into the reflections on progress, facing challenges, and the empowering nature of self-awareness in establishing habits for improved mental well-being.
So if you wish to discover how your current routine can be linked to your fears then listen in as Valerie explains the link between your trauma and your routine.
