Wired but exhausted?
If you feel tired all day but suddenly alert at night...
If your body feels tense even when nothing is 'wrong'...
If you can't fully relax even when you try...
This is often a sign that your nervous system is stuck in sympathetic activation - also commonly known as fight-or-flight.
When the nervous system perceives stress - even subtle, ongoing stress, it increases cortisol and adrenaline. Over time, this can leave you feeling both overstimulated and depleted.
Holistic practices such as:
*Slow nasal breathing
*Gentle yoga
*Extended exhale techniques
*Body based therapies
*Mindful awareness
help signal safety to the nervous system.
Regulation isn't about forcing calm. It's about helping the body feel safe enough to downshift naturally ๐ค
