Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining the team at ADSS, a Kent-based charity doing vital work supporting individuals living with Alzheimer’s and Dementia, for their Wellbeing Staff Coffee Morning.

Together, we explored the importance of relaxation and how it directly impacts both our physical and emotional well-being. For many of the incredibly dedicated staff, it was a valuable opportunity to pause and reflect on how they might begin to prioritise time for themselves, even in the smallest of ways.
In such emotionally demanding roles, self-care isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.

I'm grateful to have been invited to lead this valuable session.
Thank you to the ADSS team for the warm welcome and for all that you do.

If you run a charity or a care-giving business and would like me to join your team to for a well-being session please do get in touch.

In my last post, we explored how your nervous system can get stuck in survival mode — constantly scanning for danger, replaying stressful thoughts, and keeping your body in a state of tension, even when the threat is long gone. This is your body doing its best to protect you. But when survival mode becomes your default setting, it can leave you feeling anxious, exhausted, disconnected… and stuck.
So, what’s the next step?

When we’re stuck in stress, our world gets small. We focus on getting through the day, avoiding discomfort, and just keeping everything from falling apart. And while that’s understandable, real healing and change require more than just coping. They require direction.

Identifying your purpose gives your nervous system something new to aim for — a reason to shift gears from mere survival to growth and healing.
Think of it like this: If you’re lost in a forest, panic and survival instincts kick in. But the moment you find a clear path or glimpse a signpost, something changes. You start moving differently. You breathe differently. Your body starts to relax, even if just a little. That’s what having a purpose does. It gives your mind and body a signal that there’s hope — that change is not only possible, but worth working toward.
Maybe your purpose is to have more energy to play with your children… Or to wake up feeling calm instead of anxious…Maybe it’s to start enjoying the little moments again…
Whatever it is, your why matters. It gives meaning to the effort. And when you know why you're choosing to change, you begin to shift from "I have to do this" to "I want to do this" — and that’s where the magic happens.

Purpose isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about lighting a spark of intention.
So today, if you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I invite you to pause and ask yourself:
What’s my reason for wanting to feel better?
What will change in my life if I’m not constantly in stress mode?
What do I want to move toward, not just away from?
Write it down. Keep it somewhere visible. And let it guide you gently forward, one step at a time.
Your purpose doesn’t have to be big or dramatic. It just has to be true for you.
What’s your reason for wanting to feel better?
Drop a comment below or send me a message if you'd prefer to share privately — sometimes just naming your purpose out loud is the first powerful step toward change.
If you need any further guidance or support in finding your way out of survival mode and into a life that is true to you, drop me a message or contact me: sandra@bodymind-solutions.co.uk

True Self to APPEAR

26/06/2025

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Our nervous systems, designed to protect us from danger, can sometimes get stuck in 'survival mode.
Recognising the signs of chronic stress is the first step towards recovery. Here are some common indicators that your nervous system might be stuck in survival mode:
• Physical Symptoms: Fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, digestive issues, sleep disturbances
• Emotional Symptoms: Anxiety, irritability, difficulty concentrating, feeling overwhelmed, panic attacks
• Behavioural Symptoms: Social withdrawal, increased reliance on coping mechanisms (e.g., overeating, substance use), difficulty making decisions
The good news is that you can influence your nervous system and shift it out of survival mode. Awareness of these symptoms is the first step, and then recognising that they indicate that something needs to change is the next.
In the coming posts, we will explore ways that you can shift out of survival mode and move towards a more fulfilling and happier way of life.
