The Quiet Signs You’re Still in Survival
Survival doesn’t just happen to us — it lives in us.
Here’s how it can quietly show up without us even noticing:
1. Focusing on Problems
When you’ve lived in survival mode, your brain learns to scan for danger, not delight. This can make it hard to rest in what’s good, because you’re always bracing for what could go wrong.
2. Saying “Yes” to Avoid Conflict
For many of us, peace used to mean safety. So we learned to agree, comply, or go along just to keep the calm — even if it cost us our own needs or voice.
3. Guarding Your Heart from Closeness
When closeness once led to hurt, it’s natural to keep your guard up. But walls that once kept you safe can start to keep you alone. True safety is built with trust, not distance.
Healing begins when we notice these patterns without shaming ourselves — and start practicing something new, one small choice at a time.
Which one speaks to you today?
