Your nervous system is literally running the show behind the scenes 🧠✨
Think of it like this ~ You’ve got two main modes.
Your sympathetic nervous system is the gas pedal (fight/flight/freeze) and your parasympathetic is the brake (rest/digest/heal).
When you’re regulated, you can flow between them naturally depending on what life throws at you.
But when you’re dysregulated you’re either stuck with your foot on the gas (anxiety, hypervigilance, racing thoughts) or you’ve completely stalled out (shutdown, numbness, exhaustion).
Sometimes you’re ping-ponging between both.
Regulation isn’t about being calm 24/7. It’s about having flexibility. Being able to ramp up when you need energy and come back down when it’s time to rest.
Some things that actually help: cold water on your face, humming or singing, moving your body, connecting with safe people, deep belly breaths, or even just naming what you’re feeling out loud.
You’re not broken if your nervous system feels chaotic right now. It’s doing exactly what it learned to do to keep you safe. Healing is just teaching it that safety can exist too 💙

People who practice breathwork describe feeling some tingling sensations or feelings of numbness. This is due to changes in your blood oxygen level!

Once the practice is over, and you’ve had time to recalibrate, you’ll likely feel increased clarity, alertness, and an increased mind-body connection.

We spend a majority of our days at work, so it makes sense to get to know your coworkers on a more personal level, especially if you’re collaborating with them on a regular basis.

Take time to initiate an activity outside of work hours, or talk to your supervisor about creating some time within working hours to bond and check-in with one another.

Whether it’s a physical coffee break or a Zoom lunch hour, taking the time to connect with your work colleagues will make your workplace feel more comfortable.

For many, the workplace can be a great source of joy and achievement. However, the workplace can also be a battleground for dissatisfaction and a range of negative emotions.

The most commonly experienced negative emotions include anger, fear, jealousy, guilt, and apathy.

When you feel any negative emotions being triggered in the workplace, try removing yourself from the situation. Go for a walk, get some fresh air, etc. Take a moment to focus on your breathing, the sights and smells around you, and create a state of calm. Doing so will help you address any issue more rationally.

People say “it must be nice” without ever seeing the storms endured to get here. Without seeing the sleepless nights, the tears that came without warning, the slow and sacred work of learning to hold myself gently again.

Yes. This peace is real.

And I earned every breath of it.

It came from the mornings I chose to rise even when my heart felt heavy. From the tender act of setting boundaries not out of anger, but out of love for myself. From sitting with the parts of me that were broken and whispering “you are still worthy.” It came from the unseen moments. The ones no one witnesses. The quiet bravery of healing in silence.

You don’t owe your story to anyone. You do not have to explain the depth of what you survived or the beauty of where you stand now.

You were wounded. You were brave.
You bloomed anyway.

And that is everything.

When you’re sleeping, you’re in a vulnerable state, and when the brain is on high alert, it’s not going to want to allow your body to rest and fall asleep.

Your brain is basically yelling “DANGER!” and sending stress hormones throughout your body, so it’s no wonder you’re suffering from insomnia!

Even if you feel as though you’re finding ways to cope with your insomnia (like using caffeine or other substances), know that your body needs sleep to operate properly. By not allowing your body that time to rest, you’re likely contributing to an unhealthy decline in your body and mind.

Most formal practices involve anywhere between 20 minutes to several hours of sustained, rhythmic breathing techniques.

While this may sound like a long time to dedicate to breathing, most people report that time goes by quickly when you’re practicing!

When was the last time you struck up a conversation with a stranger? Whether it’s a quippy comment about the weather, a compliment, or some small talk asking about their day, taking the time to chat with someone new can add value and happiness to both of your lives.

Next time you’re waiting at a bus stop, waiting on a food order, or strolling by a neighbor’s front porch, take a moment to say hello and check-in.

It’s not random.
It’s familiar.

The avoidant’s distance triggers your fear of abandonment. So you pursue harder. Which makes them pull away further. Which makes you more anxious. And the cycle continues.

You’re drawn to them because the push-pull dynamic feels like home. Like love has always felt.

BREAKING THE PATTERN REQUIRES:

~ Choosing secure partners (even if they feel “boring” at first)
~ Learning to tolerate uncertainty without panicking
~ Building a life outside your relationship that fulfills you

The right person won’t make you feel this anxious.

✨ Comment “PATTERN” if this hit home.

When you feel someone pulling away, your nervous system protests to try and regain connection.

✅Excessive texting or calling
✅ Seeking reassurance repeatedly
✅ Picking fights just to create contact
✅ Jealousy or accusations
✅ Making yourself indispensable
✅ People pleasing and over functioning

The work? Learning to self soothe instead of seeking external validation.

Learning that you're worthy even when you're not performing.
Which one do you recognize in yourself?
