Well, I think two of them you mentioned, like breath and cold exposure, are beautiful practices.

In the conversation of what practices create a lot of activation in the body that I can start to develop a deeper relationship and sense of agency within that.

I would also really include exercise in that and really being able to titrate the intensity of exercise is a really helpful one.

But to bring it back to breath and cold exposure, You know well that cold exposure is one of my favorite tools to being able to know myself better and has been a profound tool to learning to deal with activation better.

Because I did not deal well with activation earlier in life.

I was highly explosive, highly reactive.
