Friday 5 - Books To Calm Your Mind & Reset Your Nervous System
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this solo episode of The Autoimmune RESET Podcast, VJ shares five of her favourite books for cultivating more calm, presence and mindfulness in everyday life.
While nutrition, movement and supplements can all play an important role in supporting health, learning how to slow down and create moments of safety is just as important for supporting the nervous system.
VJ shares the books she comes back to whenever life feels overwhelming — the ones you can pick up at any time for a little more perspective, self-compassion and inspiration.
In this episode, VJ explores:
- Why living in the present moment can help reduce stress and overwhelm
- The importance of creating simple rituals to pause and reset
- How self-compassion supports healing and personal growth
- Why small, ordinary moments often bring the most joy
- How letting go of control can create more peace and freedom
Books mentioned:
- The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
- Good Vibes, Good Life by Vex King
- The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest
- The Unexpected Joy of the Ordinary by Catherine Gray
- The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, constantly “on”, or simply craving a slower pace, this episode is your reminder to create space, reconnect with yourself and find moments of calm in everyday life.
