If you feel like stress is controlling your life, it’s time to tap into the powerful healing system already inside you—your vagus nerve.

Are you constantly overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted—no matter how hard you try to relax or “push through”? Do you find yourself stuck in cycles of burnout, poor sleep, emotional spirals, or digestive issues? If so, you're not broken—and you're not alone. You may simply need a reset.

Most people think stress is just a mindset—or that they need to "push through" to feel better. But the truth is: your body plays a huge role.

This workbook shows you how to regulate your emotions, digestion, sleep, and mood by activating the vagus nerve—the longest, most influential nerve in your body.

Backed by Polyvagal Theory and simplified for real life, this is a hands-on approach to mental health that actually works—without medication, years of therapy, or complex routines.

Inside, you’ll discover more than 50 science-based techniques designed to help you feel better fast—even if you only have 10 minutes a day:

Breathing exercises that immediately calm your nervous system and reduce anxiety

Cold exposure tools like ice packs and cold showers that lower cortisol and improve focus

Daily posture and stretching routines to release tension and boost vagal tone

Grounding techniques, chanting, and sound therapy to soothe your body and mind

Affirmation curation and visualization to rewire limiting beliefs

A "Coping Toolbox" to track emotional triggers and build emotional resilience

Gentle movement routines like mindful walking and chair yoga for stress release

Gut-healing practices to restore digestion, reduce inflammation, and improve energy

Stress management tools for professionals who manage high-pressure environments and are seeking to enforce work–life balance

Self-care tips like decluttering your living space to identify hidden stressors and incorporate supportive practices into your routine

And much more.

Unlike mindset-only methods, this book focuses on your body’s built-in healing system. The vagus nerve impacts everything from your breath to your heartbeat to your digestion. When it’s regulated, you feel calm, clear, and in control.

Whether you're juggling meetings, parenting, caregiving, or emotional wounds, this book helps you create quick, lasting resets—without quitting your job, giving up your phone, or escaping to a retreat.

You don’t need more willpower. You need a nervous system that feels safe.

If you want to feel calmer, sleep better, think more clearly, and finally stop living in survival mode—then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button now. Your reset begins here.

Great Book

I really liked this audiobook. The polyvagal theory was explained in a way that was easy to understand, and the exercises were simple to try right away. It helped me see how the nervous system affects sleep and stress, and the advice felt friendly and easy to follow, perfect for beginners.

A Powerful Gift for My Sister’s Healing Journey

I bought this audiobook for my sister, who’s been dealing with chronic stress and anxiety, and she’s been genuinely amazed by how grounded she feels. The exercises—like breathwork and journaling—are practical and easy to do. For the first time, she told me she doesn’t feel so reactive to everyday stress. It’s not a quick fix, but it’s created a gentle, lasting shift in how she feels and responds daily. For someone who needs calm, this is a thoughtful companion.

An act of self-care

What I appreciate most is the book's compassionate approach. It acknowledges that you're not broken and that you don't need more willpower. You simply need a nervous system that feels safe. This shift in perspective makes the journey feel less like a chore and more like an act of self-care.

Small resets that really work

I liked that the book gave super simple exercises that I could actually do in the middle of a busy day. The breathing routines stood out the most for me—just a few minutes of practicing them made it easier to calm down before bed, which helped me finally start sleeping better. I even shared one of the posture and stretching tips with my mom, and she said it’s been helping her digestion. It feels like a realistic guide you can use without overhauling your whole life.

“A Practical Guide to Nervous System Healing

This workbook is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in calming anxiety, managing stress, and restoring balance to the nervous system. It begins with an easy-to-grasp explanation of the vagus nerve and Polyvagal Theory, then moves into practical daily exercises like deep breathing, posture resets, mindful walking, and even creative approaches like laughter, visualization, and music.

What I love most is that it doesn’t stop at theory—it’s loaded with step-by-step techniques you can try right away, plus “key takeaways” that make it easy to absorb. The sections on trauma recovery, emotional resilience, and even quirky practices like humming or gentle movement were eye-opening. I also appreciated the holistic touches like improving digestion, creating a peaceful living environment, and setting boundaries for healthier relationships.

It’s approachable, thorough, and surprisingly empowering. A true mind-body guide that makes nervous system health practical for everyday life.

Feel calmer than I have in days

I’ve had anxiety for years and usually feel restless at night. After trying the breathing routines, I noticed I was falling asleep faster. It wasn’t a huge change all at once, but little by little I felt less on edge. It feels like I’m finally giving my body a reset instead of just trying to “push through.”

Finally, a Reset That Actually Works!

I didn’t realize how much my anxiety and sleep struggles were connected to my nervous system until I tried this workbook. The explanations of polyvagal theory are clear and beginner friendly, and the simple somatic exercises are easy to fit into my daily routine. I’ve already noticed calmer mornings, better digestion, and deeper sleep. It feels like I finally have a reset button for stress practical, healing, and surprisingly effective!

A Real Reset for Stress

This audiobook gave me a new understanding of how stress affects my body. The simple breathing and movement exercises were easy to add into my day, and I noticed better sleep and less tension. It’s practical, calming, and feels like a real reset for anxiety and burnout.

easy to follow

Nice audiobook with musical guided meditation. Very easy to follow so you can repeat the steps later on your own. I paid close attention to the sleep position section to help with my back pain. Regulating my body to heal itself through techniques is my preference over prescription meds so mindfulness and other suggestions peek my interest. I’d recommend this book.

The Vitality Reset I Needed!

This book was such an eye opener for me. I've always thought stress was just about mindset, but it explained how much our body and especially the vagus nerve (which honestly is I hadn't heard of before) plays a role. I love that the exercises are simple and quick and work in real life. Even just 10 minutes a day which is perfect for me!
