Entrepreneurship isn’t just about grit…
By Jenna D'Annunzio
…it’s about nervous system literacy. Knowing how to shift from stress to safety is a superpower.
We operate in high-stakes, high-stress environments, which makes knowing how to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) not just helpful, but essential for sustainable success.
Activating your PNS allows for the restoration of balance because it’s your body’s natural recovery mode and the antidote to stress and overdrive.
When our PNS is activated, it helps us step out of constant hustle mode and avoid burnout. Unlike the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers fight-or-flight responses, the PNS supports rest, recovery, and recharge—helping us restore balance and prevent crashing.
By avoiding the crash, we then open the door to sharper decision-making. A calm nervous system supports clarity, creativity and strategic thinking, all critical factors in enlightened entrepreneurship. That level of positive regulation also enables us to communicate more effectively. As leaders of companies, businesses, and ultimately our own lives, we listen rather than hear, respond thoughtfully rather than react, and lead with high levels of emotional intelligence.
Activating your PNS also trains your body to bounce back faster from setbacks, rejection and/or uncertainty, all things we know are a part of the entrepreneurial journey, whether we like it or not! When we show up calm and grounded, we’re more likely to act from intention rather than reaction, building a business that we love, a business that reflects and is in full alignment with who we are and what we want.
