Everyone. Ryan, again, here to talk to you a little bit more about regulation, the way that we are able to calm ourselves and also help our kids calm, you know, an often really overlooked, simple one is some exercise. Just get outside, get some fresh air, get some sunshine. It is amazing. Calming effects on your body. Bernie Brown says that one of her stress responses is stress eating.
For me, that's one of my stress responses as well. And so one of the ways that Dr. Brown mitigates that is she says she puts a pair of running shoes in her pantry. And so whenever she is stressed and she wants to go get something to eat that's unhealthy for her. She sees her shoes there. She's reminded that's an effective, calming strategy.
She puts them on and she goes for a walk in her neighborhood. Said I would encourage you to get outside, get some exercise, get the blood flowing, get the fresh air, get some sunshine. Amazing, amazing, calming strategy to employ when the weather's nice. So not in the summer in Texas, but for most of the rest of the year, our family will go on walks together.
At the end of the day. So it's a real great transition for us to move from the school day or whatever else has been going on to having a more calm evening at our home. And that is by going on, this family walks together, so get outside, get some exercise and enjoy the calming effects.
