Have you ever wished you could control your energy levels as easily as adjusting the temperature on your thermostat?

In this episode, I dive into the fascinating world of nervous system mastery with Jonny Miller, who's revolutionizing how we approach energy management and self-regulation.

Jonny shares incredibly practical techniques that can help you shift your energy state in as little as 30-60 seconds, whether you need to calm down after a stressful meeting or amp up before an important presentation. We explore the science behind these techniques, including the groundbreaking finding that there are four times as many neural pathways going from body to brain than brain to body – which explains why bottom-up regulation practices can be so powerful.

What really excites me about this conversation is how immediately applicable these tools are for business leaders and entrepreneurs. I can't wait for you to discover how these simple yet powerful techniques could revolutionize your daily energy management!

Topics We Cover in This Episode:

• The surprising reason why trying to "think yourself calm" is far less effective than bottom-up regulation

• A simple humming technique that can take you to instant calm

• The breathing pattern that can replace your morning coffee

• How to achieve the equivalent of 4 hours of sleep in just 15 minutes

• Why certain environmental tweaks can permanently upgrade your nervous system

• A powerful technique that can shift your state in under 60 seconds
