The 28-Day Nervous System Reset

The 28-Day Nervous System Reset is a guided meditation series designed to help you better understand your nervous system, recognize your emotional states, and practice moving toward greater calm, awareness, and choice. Created and hosted by Glenn Ostlund, MA, MS, LAC, a licensed therapist in Arizona, the series combines mindfulness, nervous system education, ACT-informed practices, polyvagal concepts, guided imagery, and binaural audio. Across 28 days, the podcast tells the story of the nervous system from its earliest evolutionary beginnings to the extraordinarily complex human experience of thought, emotion, relationship, memory, and self-awareness. Each episode offers a short reflection or meditation designed to help you notice what is happening inside you without immediately judging, fixing, or fighting it. The goal is not to eliminate difficult emotions. Fear, anger, grief, shutdown, anxiety, and stress are all part of a nervous system trying to protect and adapt. The practice is learning to recognize those states, create a little more space around them, and strengthen the pathways that support regulation, curiosity, connection, and intentional choice. Most episodes feature binaural audio, so headphones or earbuds are recommended for the full experience. After completing the 28-day series, listeners can continue with a curated collection of bonus meditations focused on topics such as anxiety, anger, grief, self-criticism, attachment, sleep, trauma, overthinking, emotional regulation, and nervous system safety. You do not need to force yourself to feel calm. You can practice finding your way back to it. One day, one breath, and one small choice at a time.
