If you find it hard to relax, you're not alone... Relaxation is a process involving neurotransmitters, brain waves, and the autonomic nervous system. Do you want to zen out and feel calm? The first step is to understand how it all works. - Stress may negatively influence brain health over the long-term.
- Meditation and yoga may increase GABA to support relaxation.
- About 74% of people are stressed on a regular basis.
- Women tend to feel less relaxed than men, according to the American Psychological Association.
| | - GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid): GABA is your brain's calming neurotransmitter. It stops neurons from firing faster, which eases the brain into relaxation.
- Serotonin and Dopamine: Serotonin is known as the "feel-good neurotransmitter" because it regulates mental well-being. Dopamine keeps your mind driven and attentive.
People who have trouble relaxing are often high in dopamine. They also may be a bit lower in GABA and serotonin. | | Neurotransmitters are just the beginning. Your brain waves also dictate how you feel. - Alpha waves (8-13 Hz) are prominent when the mind is calm but still alert.
-
Theta Waves (4-7 Hz) are linked to deeper relaxation and light sleep. -
Delta Waves are the slowest brain waves (0.5-4 Hz). They occur during deep sleep, which is critical for your recovery. | | | | |
Why does this matter? Well, if you can tap into theta waves, your brain may feel more relaxed and less "cluttered". Almost like you stopped the noise. You can listen to theta wave audio tracks that switch your brain into this state. Plus, activities like meditation and yoga can kickstart this process. If your mind is overstimulated and you're finding it hard to relax, here are a few things that can help: - Perform deep breathing for a few minutes to trigger theta brain waves.
- Take this Neuro Personality quiz to see if you could use some GABA or Serotonin support.*
- Find a mindful activity that will not only balance neurotransmitters, but also activate calmer brain waves.
With these few tips, you'll be well on your way to cultivating more relaxation. Start small, keep researching how the brain works, and you'll soon notice a big difference | | 🔥LABOR DAY SPECIAL🔥 20% OFF SITEWIDE ENDS TOMORROW | | | | |
