De: Lulu Nicholson

Narrado por: James Lawrence

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.

Very well explained

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The explanations of polyvagal theory were easy to follow, and the exercises were simple enough to try right away. I found it helpful for understanding how the nervous system works and how small daily practices can support better sleep and reduce stress. It felt approachable and encouraging, especially for someone new to the topic.

imple steps that fit into a busy day

As someone juggling work and family, I don’t have hours to dedicate to complex routines. This audiobook gave me quick techniques I could try right away, like small breathing resets that make a big difference. I noticed less tension in my shoulders and more energy during the day. It’s approachable, useful, and fits into everyday life without stress.

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!

Clear, Practical Help for Nervous System Healing

The Vagus Nerve Reset Workbook by Lulu Nicholson offers a gentle, well-organized introduction to the vagus nerve and how it affects everything from anxiety and sleep to digestion and trauma recovery. I appreciated how clearly the author explained polyvagal theory; it felt accessible without being oversimplified.
The section that helped me the most was the part on somatic exercises. The “box breathing” and “vocal toning” practices are now part of my daily routine, especially when I feel anxious. Nicholson’s tone is calm and encouraging throughout, and I never felt overwhelmed or pressured to rush through the practices.
I picked up this audiobook during a time of burnout and was pleasantly surprised by how empowering and doable the suggestions were. While some parts could use more depth, it’s a thoughtful and useful guide for anyone starting this kind of healing work.

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.

Feeling Calmer and Sleeping Better

This was really interesting information, I didn’t realize how much my anxiety and sleep problems were connected to my nervous system. The explanations of polyvagal theory are clear and make sense as to why I am feeling the way I feel. I have been adding the somatic exercises into my daily routine and I’ve already noticed calmer mornings, deeper sleep and better digestion. I am grateful for this information, I have shared it with my daughter and it has been helping her as well. Great book and effective!

Practical calm in one place

This audiobook makes something as complex as the vagus nerve feel simple and doable. I liked how the exercises were short and easy to fit into everyday life, even if you’re busy or stressed out.

It doesn’t overload you with theory, just gives you clear, useful tools to reset when life feels overwhelming. A solid guide if you want to feel calmer and more in control without a huge time commitment.
