How to drop your CORTISOL by 43% (backed by 300+ studies) 7 proven ways: 1. EFT tapping.

@MikeBinderjokes @mindfulmaven_ It sounds like a stress reaction.

@LORWEN108 @mindfulmaven_ This is great. I wake up every single night at 3 am. Not in a panic but maybe it is. I'm itching and can't be still. It's almost every night lately. For sometimes two hours

JAW TIGHT. CHEST BUZZING. BRAIN LOOPING. 3 AM wake up isn’t random insomnia. It’s your nervous system flooded with cortisol. Here are 8 in-bed nervous system resets to fall back asleep:🧵 1. The physiological sigh.

@davidmotta Yes, it's true. We are complex living systems!

@LORWEN108 wow that 3 am stuff always messes with you even if it’s just a random night. feels weird how it all connects sometimes.

@_Deep_Learner_ glad it was helpful.

@LORWEN108 “Release your jaw, drop your tongue.” This was a new one for me.

Here's what shifts when you do this long enough: you stop feeling like a person breathing. You feel wind. Moving through you. The same air that moves through grass and across water is brushing the edge of your skin right now. You didn't manufacture it. You're not controlling it. You are a temporary opening that wind passes through. It's almost impossible to catastrophize from inside that recognition

@Eziahatoka Thanks for your comment. What was most helpful? I'd love to know.

@LORWEN108 This is a great thread. Thanks for sharing

@JoyfulCl Glad you understood something that was confusing before.

@LORWEN108 Now I know

@selfcarecanvas We get caught in our head for most of the day and then expect to let go at night. For lots of us, it's impossible!

@LORWEN108 It’s crazy how the body stays alert even when you’re exhausted.

@mindfulmaven_ Thanks for your feedback.

@LORWEN108 Sometimes your body just doesn’t know how to switch off.

Your body is not broken at 3am. It is doing exactly what a nervous system does when it never received the signal that the day is over. Give it that signal now. Breath by breath. Touch by touch. If this resonates, take my free Protection Pattern Quiz — it shows you the pattern keeping your nervous system stuck. offers.lorwenharrisnagle.com/protection-pat…

8. Slowly stroke your own arms and face. From shoulder to elbow. Slowly. Or across your forehead and cheeks. Slowly. This is called Havening. The slow repetitive touch generates delta brain waves — the same waves present in deep sleep. You are not just soothing yourself. You are neurologically signaling the body toward rest.

@editxshub It's somatic, which is important, and it connects you with your body.

@LORWEN108 For whatever reason, this one really works.
