In a world that rarely slows down—especially for educators—true relaxation isn’t just a luxury, it’s a biological necessity. This blog explores how the parasympathetic nervous system helps us restore, repair, and reconnect, and why mental activation (even during “downtime”) can block our body’s ability to relax. Drawing on insights from Teacher Wellbeing Transformed, it offers practical, evidence-based techniques to stimulate the vagus nerve and activate your relaxation response. If you’re ready to move from survival to restoration, this is your invitation to begin.
