<p>Hey, Brave Table fam! ✨ As we wind down the year, this episode is all about honoring <em>you</em>—your mental and emotional health, especially as we move into the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. We’re talking about those shadows and insecurities that creep up, the feeling of FOMO, and the struggle to say “no” to all the invites when your soul just needs rest.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Today, I’m diving into some juicy, easy-to-do strategies that will help you reconnect with your nervous system and slow down to the speed of life. Whether it’s hugging it out for that sweet oxytocin boost, belting out your favorite 90s slow jams (hello, R&B!), or leaving a heartfelt voice note to a friend, these little shifts can work wonders in less than 10 minutes a day! Tune in to learn how to navigate this fast-paced world with grace, and of course, with a bit more bravery.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What you'll get out of this episode…</strong> </p> <p><br></p> <p>Lean into year-end challenges with compassion.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Daily hugs, deep breaths, or singing can reset your nervous system in minutes.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Gratitude and voice notes nurture relationships and lift your mood.</p> <p><br></p> <p>It's okay to feel overwhelmed—honor your need for rest amidst the holiday hustle.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Embrace play, music, and connection freely, without judgment.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>TIMESTAMPS</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>00:00 – Welcome to The Brave Table!</p> <p>01:00 – Navigating the holiday hustle and emotional health</p> <p>06:00 – Simple steps to reconnect with yourself</p> <p>10:00 – Singing your heart out to activate your vagus nerve</p> <p>15:00 – Building relationships through small acts of appreciation</p> <p>21:00 – Wrapping up: Be brave, bold, and embrace the holiday chaos</p> <p><br></p> <p>To receive a free gift, email a screenshot of your 5-star review of The Brave Table to [email protected] 😘</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Follow along for more tips, community, and resources to brave a better you!</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>IG / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/neetabhushan/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@neetabhushan</a> </p> <p>IG / <a href="http://www.instagram.com/thebravetable" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@thebravetable </a></p> <p>TIKTOK / <a href="http://www.tiktok.com/neeta.bhushan" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@neeta.bhushan</a></p> <p>WEB / <a href="https://neetabhushan.com/10-day-emotional-reset" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://neetabhushan.com</a></p> <p>YOUTUBE / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@NeetaBhushanOfficial" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@NeetaBhushanOfficial</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Want more?</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>Visit the website and order your copy of “That Sucked, Now What?” for free ( just pay for the shipping cost)  →<a href="https://neetabhushan.com/book-offer-bonus" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> ⁠https://neetabhushan.com/book-offer-bonus⁠</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Grab the Conversation cards here →<a href="https://thatsuckednowwhat.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> ⁠https://thatsuckednowwhat.com/⁠</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Take just 2 minutes and find what YOUR emotional type is by taking  my FREE quiz here →  <a href="http://theemotionalreset.com/quiz" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">theemotionalreset.com/quiz</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>For a weekly dose of my hacks, tools, & tips to emotionally reset, join my newsletter here → <a href="http://yourweeklyreset.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">yourweeklyreset.com</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>If you loved this episode, check out…</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>Ep.#221: How to Calm Your Nervous System During Chaotic Moments with Dr. Navaz Habib  (<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/221-how-to-calm-your-nervous-system-during-chaotic/id1608226580?i=1000654158293" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Apple</a> | <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/global-grit-media/episodes/221-How-to-Calm-Your-Nervous-System-During-Chaotic-Moments-with-Dr--Navaz-Habib-e2j3mlv" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://youtu.be/Oe7KaEByNLY?si=r1hF3QF16vuaSeUC" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">YouTube</a>)</p> <p><br></p> <p>Ep.#226: Healing From Trauma Through Self-Discovery and Inner Work with Sara Al Madani  (<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/226-healing-from-trauma-through-self-discovery-and/id1608226580?i=1000656131904" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Apple</a> | <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/global-grit-media/episodes/226-Healing-From-Trauma-Through-Self-Discovery-and-Inner-Work-with-Sara-Al-Madani-e2js2to" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://youtu.be/m7fLmYeWN2s?si=YHb89SmPR8RWWGKu"
