Turns out a regulated nervous system turned the dial up on my intuition…

Has this happened to you?

You are not lazy, that’s for sure !

You’re burnt out, overwhelmed , drowning under expectations… OBVIOUSLY!

I mean, let’s be honest, as women we’ve been under attack for centuries.

At first we were completely suppressed, couldn’t vote, couldn’t work, could’ve have a bank card… Then we went full circle and now apparently we CAN have it all.

But you’ll have to do it all yourself… with 0 help. And not only be happy about it, but grateful… 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hit follow for nervous system tools that you can actually do in the moment . You’re not the only one drowning… some of us just hide it well.

F*ck 12 step programmes, there’s no way my “ADHD” Brain can cope with that …

More like , my ADHD brain knows that’s overkill.
Just something else that sets me up for failure, we all know there’s no way we’re have the attention span for that!

And , I know this is controversial, but less is more .
Especially when you are knee deep in chronic stress.

The last thing you need is the pressure of finding time everyday to follow a routine you don’t want to do, when you’re already bursting at the seams with your mental load !

So here I am, sat watching a program with the kids. Regulating my nervous system. Quietly. No dramatics (I save those for when I’m cooking)

Looks like I’m doing nothing, doesn’t it?

So many of us feel completely overwhelmed at times, and the panic of other people potentially noticing us ‘regulating’ adds to that overwhelm.

If you look at my hand, I’m applying pressure at the base of my skull on either side of my neck.
This activates your vagus nerve (a main player in stress!)

For some people just applying pressure is enough, if you’re a bit sadistic like me and that whole pleasure pain thing when it comes to healing really does it for you, then massage the area too. With as much pressure as feels good.

Then I’m taking intentional deep breaths, that fill my stomach, as well as expanding my rib cage and then a slow exhale through the mouth, making the exhale longer than inhale.

Five of these and I’m back in the room.

Give it a try and let me know what you noticed.
Shoulders relaxing?
Jaw unclenching?

Hit follow for regulation tools that you can actually use in the moment without looking or feeling like a nutter (mostly!)

You don’t need a 12 step nervous system regulation practice

You need to stop treating joy like it’s something you have to earn 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nervous system regulation isn’t just cold plunges, meditation apps and forcing yourself to journal when you’re already overwhelmed. In fact cold plunges and a nervous system stuck in survival mode is more harmful.

Sometimes it’s:

✨ Singing at the top of your lungs to your favourite song because vibration stimulates the vagus nerve and tells your body you’re safe

✨ Humming while you make a brew because the sound creates calming parasympathetic activation

✨ Dancing around your kitchen and shaking your hips because trauma and stress get stored in the body through tension and stillness

✨ Laughing until you snort

✨ Sitting in the sun for 10 minutes

✨ Texting the friend who feels like home

✨ Watching the sunset instead of another self-help video

✨ Letting yourself feel ALIVE instead of constantly trying to “fix” yourself

Our nervous system doesn’t heal through punishment.
It heals through safety.
Through presence.
Through moments your body can finally exhale in.

Maybe regulation isn’t another thing to add to your to-do list…
Maybe it’s remembering you’re allowed to enjoy being here. 🫶🏼

Sick of feeling completely overwhelmed ?
Like you’re just getting through the days on autopilot?
Like you can’t even remember the last time you actually felt…relaxed?

Then breathwork is for you.

I’m talking about conscious connected breathing — simple, powerful, and straight to the point.

Because here’s the thing.
You don’t just think stress… you store it.

In your body.
Your chest.
Your gut.
Your jaw.

And no amount of overthinking, analysing or “figuring it out” shifts it — because it’s not just in your head!!

Breathwork drops you out of the chaos upstairs and back into your body, where all of that built-up emotion, unsaid words and unfelt feelings live.

And when you breathe in a connected, intentional way, your nervous system starts to regulate.
Your body feels safe enough to let go.

And the best bit.

There’s no need to analyse it.
No need to pick it apart.
No need to relive every story.

You just breathe… and your body does what it’s designed to do — release.

It’s simple.
It’s powerful.
And it works.

If you’re ready to stop carrying it all…

I’m not your love and light earth mother. More of a ‘hell no, we’re not having that’.

When I say ‘heal’ I mean be around other like minded women. Social media and Covid has created a huge disconnect in society. We NEED eachother. Connection is key !!

Let’s create the village we’ve all heard of but don’t have 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
