Welcome to Excitement Without AuDHD Burnout: Episode 124 of Soles to Soul Care for Trauma and AuDHD with Eve Menezes Cunningham.

Today, we’re looking at living life to the full. Not simply trying to calm your extra sensitive nervous system (although that is a wonderful way of bringing it into balance in this 24/7 society) but enjoying the lifted states.

Doing the things that energise us, that excite us and bring joy more deliberately and frequently while also recognising that our extra sensitive nervous systems need more rest before and afterwards and building those buffers in.

What are your favourite ways to lift your nervous system? What gets you enthusiastic about life?

What helps you come back to earth with less of a crash? How can you better manage these transitions?

Thanks for watching/listening and let me know in the comments or by emailing eve@solestosoul.ie
