Children and young people
In a society marked by stress and poor well-being, children and young people can gain valuable tools for self-help by learning about the bodily processes that underlie emotions and stress.
Synergia’s lesson “Learn the Secret Language of Your Nervous System and Befriend Your Stress” explores how stress and well-being appear from the body’s perspective. We ask the question: Can we achieve greater well-being by understanding the language of our nervous system?
This lesson is aimed at children and young people in secondary school and high school.
Learn the Secret Language of Your Nervous System – and Befriend Your Stress!
Take a trip inside your brain and nervous system and meet the processes that rule the show in there! This is where it’s decided whether we feel safe or unsafe, outgoing or shy, happy or sad.
Maybe you think you don’t have much say in how you feel or act?
Luckily, that’s not true. There’s plenty of exciting science about how the brain and nervous system work. Research has shown us what stress really is. Today we understand that our body’s stress processes play a huge role in how we feel—and why it’s so important to prevent unhealthy stress.
This matters a lot, because it’s hard to think clearly when your body feels restless or uncomfortable. It’s also hard to listen or be social when stress is running the show. Sound familiar?
The good news is that you can change this once you learn the language of your nervous system!
This lesson is like a biology language class—you’ll learn what all the sensations in your body really mean. You’ll also get five easy exercises that help your body find a healthy balance.
When your body is in balance, everything becomes easier: you feel better, you can focus more, and you can take part in life and its communities with more energy and confidence.
