On Reactivity and Relaxation

I’m starting a new health protocol next month. My Functional Medicine practitioner reviewed my blood test results and, in addition to prescribing supplements, has told me to breathe into a ziplock bag every morning and evening for three months.

This is an intermittent hypercapnia technique that shocks the body into a state of relaxation. She also prescribed a sauna protocol, a lymphatic drainage routine, and a supplement.

I’ve been thinking about something that came up on the call a couple of weeks ago. It was about how not being disciplined about the things you’re meant to be disciplined about makes you reactive.

Being reactive sucks. It wastes the weekend. So I’m wondering: what relaxes you all, especially on a weekend? And is this form of relaxation an activity?

I struggle to maintain my morning routine on weekends–it just goes out the window.

I’ve now decided to focus on just one exercise every day: meditation. (Specifically, Ziva meditation–if anyone wants to know about that, I’m happy to share resources).

Something that helps me stay focused on just one task/habit is the 66-day focus challenge sheet from the One Thing book. Attaching it here in case it’s timely for anyone.

I intend for it to pull me through the week and the weekends, so I maintain consistency and enjoy the compounding effects of a regulated nervous system. Hope it helps!
