When we have a hypersensitive sensitive nervous system, we are usually operating off the belief something is wrong, something is going to go wrong, or something is wrong with us. It’s a belief, not fact. So if we stop seeing our bodies as dangerous, and actually relax with the false alarm goes off, we can start to rewire our nervous system.

Let me double check…

Yep, still the same answer.

Meditation, or slowing down and resting your nervous system doesn’t have to look any particular way. The important part is that you do engage in restoration practices during the day that will bring your nervous system- the scared child inside of you- back to safety and peace.

Paradoxically (more on this later), taking intentional time (almost-consistency matters, but we’re not shooting for perfect, either) every day to slow down will actually free up more time in your day as your mind and body settles, allowing you to focus more easily.

You deserve this time for yourself 💛

You can’t logic your way out of big emotions.

Think of a little kid, or even a teenager, in the middle of tantrum or “breakdown” (not my favorite word). Can you imagine trying to rationalize with them in the moment? Not going to work!

We’re the same way. Our partners are the same way. Nervous system regulation/finding safety must come first. Then we can have a discussion or see the underlying thought that might be creating the chaos.

What can help for mature individuals is noting if one is spiraling or labeling a thought pattern, just to create some separation. I’m also a big Abraham Hicks fan and love the emotional scale… but you still need to be regulated enough to get there.

So first, spend some time BrEathing, petting your pup 🐶 , placing a hand on your heart 💛 before moving t the realm of thought.

You do you. I’m gonna do me.
Care about yourself first. No one’s opinion matters but your own. How you see and love yourself comes first, always.
Eleanor Roosevelt left us with a great quote here: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

Now, don’t use this passive aggressively or as a numbing tool. It’s only a positive tool when you use it as a boundary to own your own energy.
