Body Awareness and Sensations Worksheet
$4.00
When you become more aware of your body and its sensations, you become more likely to notice stress, anxiety, and tension.
This is useful because body awareness gives you the knowledge of when it’s time to step back, take a break, or not overwork yourself.
Without body awareness, we often ignore these important signals that our bodies send us. And when we suppress these basic needs for rest, nutrition, and digestion, they can often have negative consequences on our physical and mental well-being.
With greater awareness, we can better respond to our body’s wants and needs, including how to pay attention to the ebbs and flows of our daily stress.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT SYMPATHETIC AND PARASYMPATHETIC RESPONSES
Understanding what sympathetic and parasympathetic responses are is not vital to them happening—they are involuntary responses to various stimuli. However, when we understand what each part of our autonomic nervous system does and what it needs to function properly, we become well-informed.
