Gosh I look silly . . . but I really don’t care.
Why?
Because this helps my nervous system reset.
Friday afternoon I received a phone call that left me feeling:
Angry
Disillusioned
Hopeless
Dismissed
My body went into red alert
Restless
Heavy
Exhausted
I took it out on someone dear to me . . . then noticed what I had done, acknowledged it, apologised and changed my behaviour . . . without condemning myself.
Just awareness, responsibility and repair.
I let that phone call’s conversation swirl around in my head for hours.
My mind continually looping, replaying it, wondering how I could have communicated more effectively.
It impacted my sleep . . . until a different perspective arrived (thank you mindset shift retraining).
The conversation looping stopped
The swirling stopped
My mind calmed . . . and I finally slept.
But my body was still holding it
I had forgotten to use one of my nervous system regulation tools.
A few nights later, I woke sometime during the night . . and there it was again . . .
The conversation
The replay
The mental loop
But this time I remembered
So here it is . . .
Shaking my hands
Bouncing up and down
Moving the energy through . . . and out of my body instead of holding it in.
Yes, it looks ridiculous to anyone watching
But within seconds, my nervous system settled.
My body received the message that the event was over.
The conversation hadn’t changed
The circumstances hadn’t changed.
But my internal experience had.
And yes, even coaches have moments where thoughts swirl and emotions run deep.
We may still experience deep emotions and swirling thoughts, shaped by our unique Human Design . . . the difference is . . . learning how to work with our own wiring, rather than be overwhelmed by it, or run by them.
The difference isn’t perfection.
It’s having the tools available that support us to move through those moments . . . practicing them on a daily basis, even during the good moments, so when something like this arises, it’s second nature and we don’t get stuck in it.
For that, I am deeply grateful.
What helps you reset when your mind starts replaying something on repeat?
I’d love to hear what works for you.
If this resonated, feel free to like, comment or share it either way someone who might need the reminder that nervous system support matters.
