In this episode, Lauren delves deeper into nervous system regulation, exploring how rhythm can be a powerful tool for finding your window of tolerance—both reactively and proactively. She explains how engaging with steady, predictable rhythms activates a state of safety, calm, and social connection. Plus, she shares practical ways to incorporate rhythm into your daily life.

If you haven't already, check out Five Ives to see how strategies like this can be applied to adults, especially in the workplace. Five Ives works with staff in high burnout jobs to help them incorporate regulation strategies into their daily routines.

Try at Home Tip: Try one of the rhythmic activities Lauren suggests: Take a walk outside while listening to calming music, gently sway or rock, drum or tap, and listen to binaural beats or isochronic tones.
