The goal of this feasibility clinical trial is to learn whether a two-week program involving gentle stimulation of the vagus nerve at the ear (taVNS) is practical and acceptable for healthy young adults. The study will also evaluate whether collecting information about heart rate patterns and well-being is feasible during the program. If this study is feasible and acceptable, the research team will conduct a larger study to see if taVNS alone or in combination with listening to audio instructions is helpful for individuals in terms of mental and physical health.
