Show Notes:

There’s so much talk, and rightfully so, about nervous system regulation these days. And let’s face it, all the mindset work in the world doesn’t always get down into our nervous system. How our bodies really feel makes a big difference in our well-being. And one thing I’m here to tell you about is how our homes are impacting our nervous system, and I’ve got some things you can do to help it along.

In this episode of Fizome™ Your Home, Kristy Iris explores how our homes affect comfort, ease, and the regulation of our nervous system. You’ll hear from Kristy’s 25+ years of working with clients, plus insights from her own neuro-spicy brain, including:

* Why homes are often not designed for everyone’s comfort or nervous system regulation

* How “glimmers” in your home—things that spark joy and positive energy—can shift your experience

* A simple body scan exercise, one of the most important things you can do to regulate your nervous system

* How to listen to your home and notice how spaces, objects, and layouts are influencing your thoughts, emotions, and body

* Stories from her work with clients and her own home, illustrating how shifts in space can support nervous system regulation

Action Steps From This Episode

* Do the body scan – Pick one spot in your home (where you work, eat, or sleep), get still, and scan your body from your feet up. Notice what feels safe, grounded, or tense. This is your body talking.

* Turn and repeat – Face different directions and notice how your energy shifts in each position.

* Name your glimmers – Identify one thing in your space that sparks joy, calm, or expansion.

* Get quiet and listen – Pay attention to the stories your belongings are telling you, especially in the places you spend the most time sitting. Ask yourself: Is this a story I want to embody, or is it part of my past? Notice how these stories may have been influencing your life.

This episode is an invitation to observe, listen, and begin using your home as a tool for nervous system regulation and self-expression.
