Question I ask myself every day:

What does my body need right now?

Especially when I start to feel a little stretched.

Sometimes it’s a glass of water.
Sometimes it’s stepping away from the desk or stepping outside for a minute of fresh air.
And sometimes it’s a simple 2-minute nervous system reset like this, to help my body come back to calm.

Cross your arms over your chest and gently tap from side to side in a slow rhythm.
If you hum at the same time, it makes it even more powerful.

Small practices like this can help signal safety to the body and bring the nervous system back to calm.

Save this for the next time you need a gentle reset.

And if evenings are when your mind starts racing, comment CORTISOL and I’ll share my 10-minute evening routine to help lower cortisol and prepare your body for deep, restorative sleep.

For the women who look like they have it all together…
but feel exhausted underneath.

If this story felt familiar, you’re not alone 🤍
You don’t have to earn your rest.

Leave a 🤍 if this resonated.

✨ Save this for tonight - your well-rested self will thank you 🌙👇

If you feel exhausted …
but then take ages to fall asleep as your mind is racing - this one is for you 💛

This gentle bedtime stretching routine helps signal safety to your body so you can actually switch off.
No equipment needed. Just slow, calming movement you can do right in bed 🛏️

Honestly, it’s one of my favourite ways to downshift after a long day.

These stretches can help release tension, calm your nervous system, and make falling asleep feel easier.

👉 Do positions 2 & 3 on both sides
Stay for 2–3 minutes if you can, or simply take 5 slow breaths in each pose

This can become a powerful evening ritual.

✨ I also make a warm magnesium drink before bed that supports deep relaxation and sleep quality.

Comment MAGNESIUM and I’ll send you my warm sleep drink recipe for deeper, more restful sleep 💌

If this exercise makes you yawn, sigh, swallow… or even cry - regulation is already happening.

And if you’re someone who is “fine”… but always switched on, holding everything together, thinking ahead - this is especially for you 🤍

Because many ambitious women don’t feel stressed in their mind anymore.
They feel it in their body.

Tight shoulders.
Shallow breath.
Restless sleep.
Difficulty switching off.

This one looks almost too simple 🌀
And yet… it works.

Try it for just 1-2 minutes.

This is called “The Basic Exercise” (Stanley Rosenberg).

Lie down or sit comfortably.
Interlace your fingers behind your head.
Gently guide your gaze toward your left elbow… and stay there.

Your nervous system quietly checks:

👉 Am I safe right now?
👉 Can I soften, even a little?

At first, nothing.
Then a yawn.
A sigh.
A swallow.
Watery eyes.
Sometimes emotion.

Your body is shifting out of protection
and into rest + digest.

Move slowly, don’t push to extremes, just a gentle gaze. Stop anytime.
Regulation is about listening, not pushing.

💬 What did your body do?
Yawn, swallow, emotion, or nothing at all?

And remember - every response is information, not failure.

If you’re tired of managing stress with willpower alone and want to learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, you’ll find more tools like this here 🤍

P.S. This is Day 2/21 of 2 min Nervous System Resets - check out the other videos!
