인생의 도전에 대한 신경계 조절 마스터하기

### 신경계 마스터하기: 역량과 회복탄력성 향상을 위한 전략
* 🎶 하루를 활기차고 낙관적으로 시작하여 중요한 퀘스트를 수행할 준비가 되어 있지만, **장애물이 있으면 그 에너지가 금방 고갈될 수 있습니다.**
* ⚠ 지각하거나 어려운 대화에 직면하는 등의 어려움에 직면하면 **조절 장애라는 반응성 상태**에 빠져 **불안과 잘못된 의사 결정**으로 이어질 수 있습니다.
* 🔄 신경계는 미터를 기준으로 작동하며, **빨간색 영역은 활성화와 생산성**을 나타내고 **파란색 영역은 회복과 휴식**을 의미하는데, 이 두 가지 모두 균형을 유지하는 데 필수적인 요소입니다.
* 💔 빨간색에 너무 많은 시간을 보내면 **과잉 각성과 불안**이 생길 수 있고, 파란색에 너무 많은 시간을 보내면 **각성 저하로 인해 단절과 참여 부족**을 초래할 수 있습니다.
* 🌿 관용의 창으로 알려진 녹색 영역은 **내재적 안전과 연결을 경험하는 곳**으로, 최적의 기능과 창의성을 발휘할 수 있는 곳입니다.
* 💪 허밍 테크닉이나 불의 숨결 같은 기술을 배우면 필요에 따라 신경계 상태를 의도적으로 전환하여 **에너지를 활성화하거나 회복**할 수 있습니다.
* 🕒 점심 식사 후 비수면 깊은 휴식(NSDR)과 같은 방법을 도입하면 **업무 능력을 크게 회복**하여 목표에 의미 있는 진전을 이룰 수 있습니다.
* 📈 궁극적으로 신경계를 마스터하는 것은 삶의 다양한 측면에 복합적인 효과를 가져와 **모든 것이 더 수월하고 조화롭게 느껴지게 하는 평생의 여정**입니다.

신경계 조절을 마스터하면 인생의 어려움을 수월한 발전으로 바꿀 수 있습니다.

this is your nervous system. [Music] capacity. You start your day at full strength, full of aliveness and energy, ready to make progress on the quests that matter to you. Unfortunately, that initial optimism sometimes gets tested. Obstacles arise, not everything goes your way, and you use up some of your capacity. How much capacity? That depends on this little bar. More on that later. Using up your capacity is just part of being alive. Sometimes you use it to complete the quests that matter to you; other times, it gets used just getting by. Maybe you use some running late for an appointment, maybe a bit more facing an unpleasant surprise, more can be lost just anticipating a work meeting, even more on tough conversations at home. In fact, it doesn't always feel like you have control over how it gets used, and the worst part is that as these hearts diminish, we lose our capacity to respond intentionally. We enter a reactive mode called disregulation instead. You respond with anxiety, avoidance, or shutdown, and to make things worse, we make poor decisions.

we succumb to our addictive tendencies. You feel like you're a victim of circumstances, and this creates a vicious cycle. You wake up feeling under-rested, and if you stay in this cycle of dysregulation, it quickly compounds. At the end of the week, you feel like you've made zero progress towards the goals that matter to you. There are many days when life can feel like playing a video game on hard mode, but what most people don't realize is that we have cheat codes built into our biological hardware, and they are skills that can be learned. Let's try that day again, but first, what's actually happening at the level of our nervous system? This side of the meter is red, and this represents the energizing or sympathetic branch of our nervous system. If you hang out in the red end of your meter, you get a sizable boost from your state. You get more focused, your heart rate goes up, you can quickly increase your level and complete quests, but in exchange, you drain that capacity faster.

so you need to be intentional. Use this mode wisely. This mode also activates when life hands you curveballs. However, if we push this mode too far, your character's nervous system gets super activated into a mode that we call hyperarousal flight mode, which is great when you need to fend for your life. But if you spend too much time here, you'll drain your energy. You might become easily frustrated or even trigger debilitating anxiety. If red is basically getting things done, then the blue side of the meter is recovery mode, also known as the parasympathetic branch, which is basically your nervous system applying the brakes, recharging. Move into this Blue Zone, and your heart rate will remain constant or even restored. You will recover your capacity for active rest activities like NSDR or spending time in nature. These help you to shift into this healthy Blue State. But in moments of overwhelm, if you go deep into this blue territory, this is known as hypo, when your nervous system essentially pulls on the emergency handbrake. Meaningful connection with

others become challenging. You disassociate from your body. You lose the capacity to be creative or actively engage in life. Basically, you freeze, collapse, or shut down. That makes this lovely green area the ideal place to be throughout the day. This one is called your nervous system's window of tolerance, which from a biological perspective is correlated with healthy vagus nerve activation. In this mode, we're able to feel a sense of intrinsic safety, connection, and presence, both with ourselves and others. This bar is also highly correlated with what's known as your baseline HRV or heart rate variability. Things like playful activities, feeling gratitude, meaningful conversation with friends—these amplify that green state. This recovers your heart, and it can be blended with either of those other two states. Combine this with recovery states to achieve deep rejuvenation that goes far beyond the effects of passive rest. Combine this with creative activities, and you enter a focused state of flow. You gain the benefits of energy without losing the heart. Now, your character will always be cycling through these states. It's just part of

Being Human no state is is good or bad better or worse but we can be intentional about choosing one that is adaptive for the situation rather than feeling like we're somehow a victim of these reactive Cycles or shitty habits but here's the secret for exponentially speeding up your progress in The Game of Life you can teach your character these meta skills that will activate these modes in the moments when you need them the most in other words you can consciously take control over your nervous system triggers rather than waiting for circumstances to trigger you and when we have agency both over our physiy and over our state achieving these goals and quests it feels effortless and fun so next time when you wake up and begin the day and the the hits the fan you can self-regulate and course correct activating the hum technique along with stimulating the parasympathetic neuron receptors the vibrations create a 15-fold increase in nitric oxide which amplifies the recovery mode which returns you from

stress to a neutral state. No need to waste a stat boost on a spilled coffee. And conversely, if your character is feeling lethargic and needs some of that activation energy, you can intentionally enter the red state through the Breath of Fire technique. Or you can try deliberate heat and cold exposure, which have been shown to increase metabolism and stress resilience, as well as create a prolonged spike in dopamine over the following 4 hours. And for the times when being activated no longer serves you, you can instantly downshift with a practice called 448 breathing or a physiological sigh. Basically, a vibrant inhale through the nose with an extra sip and then an effortless exhale. But the real superpower boost comes from setting aside time after lunch for nsdr or nonsleep deep rest. As little as 15 minutes can feel deeply restorative, bringing your heart back to near full capacity by blending those green and blue states. If your neurobiology was like an instrument, this is like bringing yourself back into tune. And since you

have this renewed creative capacity later in the day. You can use this their capacity to make extra progress on your most important quests. You have space to engage in co-regulation and double down on those feelings of connection. You can end the day feeling deeply satisfied and ready to wind down for a night of rejuvenating sleep. Once you start to work with your nervous system rather than against it, you can deliberately produce short periods of intense stress known as UST stress. And so long as you rest well that night, thanks to the miracle of neuroplasticity, your nervous system will actually increase its capacity overnight. But the real magic comes from compounding Returns. The days become weeks, the weeks become months, and you will make more progress on the financial, physical, creative, and relational goals than you ever thought was possible. Learning how to regulate your nervous system and increase capacity is a lifelong journey, but once you figure out how to shift your nervous system state in each moment, everything in life seems to flow effortlessly.

Nervous System Mastery 101 (Start Here)

Jonny Miller

하루는 활기찬 에너지로 시작하지만, 장애물과 스트레스 요인으로 인해 에너지가 빠르게 고갈됩니다.

이러한 에너지 고갈은 반응 모드로 이어져 불안과 잘못된 의사 결정으로 이어져 악순환을 일으킬 수 있습니다.

하지만 신경계에는 학습 가능한 기술 형태의 '치트 코드'가 내장되어 있어 통제력을 회복하고 회복력을 향상하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

신경계에는 스트레스와 생존을 위한 과각성 비행 모드와 재충전 및 균형 회복을 위한 회복 모드(블루존)가 있습니다.

과각성 상태에서 너무 많은 시간을 보내면 좌절과 불안이 생길 수 있고, 블루존에 너무 깊이 들어가면 연결이 끊어지고 삶에 대한 몰입도가 떨어질 수 있습니다.

이상적인 상태는 내재적 안전, 연결감, 존재감을 증진하는 관용의 창(녹색 영역)으로, 즐거운 활동과 의미 있는 대화를 통해 증폭될 수 있습니다.
