There’s one simple skill that can dramatically reduce chronic pain, illness, and nervous system dysregulation — and most of us struggle to practice it.
If you live with chronic pain, fatigue, fibromyalgia, or unexplained symptoms, there’s a good chance your nervous system is stuck in fight or flight all day long.
That state often looks like:
rushing
urgency
pressure
pushing through exhaustion
always needing to stay busy
moving fast, even when you’re tired
And when your nervous system is constantly in survival mode, healing can’t happen.
In this video, I explain the simplest skill to help your body exit fight or flight and shift toward safety and regulation:
Slowing down.
This doesn’t mean stopping your life or giving up on healing.
It means gently slowing:
your breath
your movements
your speech
your pace
or even removing one thing from your to-do list
If you slowed your life down by just 10%, you’d be surprised how much safer and calmer your body can feel.
And over time, that sense of safety can lead to real reductions in chronic pain and illness symptoms — because your brain and nervous system finally get the message that it’s okay to relax.
