The body’s response to stress is appropriate and proportional to the perceived threat. Stress hormones such as cortisol are released in response to stressors but return to baseline levels once the stressor has passed, preventing prolonged activation of the stress response.

Cognitive function is optimized, with individuals able to concentrate, focus, and maintain attention as needed. Memory recall is efficient, and decision-making is rational and effective.

Emotions are experienced and expressed appropriately, with individuals able to modulate their emotional responses in different situations. There is a balance between the activation of stress responses and the ability to relax and experience positive emotions.

A regulated nervous system helps maintain a steady heart rate and blood pressure within normal ranges. It achieves this through the balanced activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system.

Sleep-wake cycles are regular and restorative, with individuals experiencing sufficient deep and REM sleep stages. Sleep disturbances are minimal, and individuals wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

The enteric nervous system, often referred to as the “second brain,” regulates digestive processes effectively. There is smooth digestion, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of waste without issues such as bloating, constipation, or diarrhea.

The nervous system communicates effectively with the immune system, helping to regulate immune responses to pathogens and prevent autoimmune reactions. Inflammation is controlled, and the body is able to mount appropriate immune responses without excessive inflammation or immune dysfunction.

The nervous system responds appropriately to sensory stimuli from the environment, allowing individuals to perceive and interpret sensory information accurately. Responses to stimuli are adaptive and contextually appropriate.
