I remind myself, work isn’t just paid work. Work can be a home caring situation.

Spending a lot of effort, energy, time and emotion caring for loved ones...children or elderly relatives adds to my anxiety load too.

I’m self-employed so there’s a million things on my list, and I know many of us continue our work at home. To hear more on this, follow me.

I take hourly micro breaks to step back into my body - Stand up and look out the window for 30 seconds, study what I’m seeing, take a deep breath in. I stretch. Or do a lap of the garden (or office or wherever), This might seem tivial…but this is ‘Orienting - and its powerful.

It helps us tune back into our environment and to connect and ground into the present moment rather than the tunnel vision effect work tasks can have.
These small, simple moments of recovery work if you do them regularly.

I need to remind myself that we live in a culture that expects us to go above and beyond in the work that we do.

Yes, there’s no denying I have to earn to pay my bills but I also need to keep myself healthy. That of course includes my mental health as well as my physical wellness.

I balance the demands that are piling up with things in life that lower my stress. 

I spend time alone quietly, get guilt-free rest, make time for people that make me feel me again.

I put away the text books once my day is done, and lean towards fiction to remind myself of who I am outside of work. If I’m really shattered, I might even re-read a favourite book or much loved film inspired by a book.

Fiction is a great tool for stepping away from our own thoughts and putting ourselves in another’s head.

Nervous system regulation works better when the person can feel what’s happening inside of them. They need to sense their tech own tension releasing. They need internal feedback to recognize the shift and find their way back out of it on their own.

Having a healthy nervous system is not about seeking calm. It’s about moving between feeling deeply relaxed and stimulated, happy and sad, in control and free, highly motivated and deeply chilled - without getting stuck in one state.

Try exploring dropping into your body via grounding, movement, laughter, hugs, flow state, activity, sleep, sunlight, ambient light.

You might have all the books and listened to the psychology podcasts. You might even have a therapist and understand what’s going on with your situation 

But this insight is not the same as learning how to integrate and embody your experiences and emotions 

Sometimes less is more…give your brain a break by learning how to step into your body and focus on the felt state, not a thinking one.  Nervous system regulation works better when the person can feel what’s happening inside of them they need to sense their tech own tension releasing they need internal feedback to recognize the shift and find their way back out of it on their own.

My clients have opted for something different from loud, fast or intense healing because they tried it, and it didn’t work. Instead, they’re discovering the impact of slower, more consistent, practical and traditional bodywork. They’ve learned wellness is more about natural balance, and rhythm.

We don’t need to be endlessly pushing towards the extreme or cutting edge.

The ‘All or Nothing’ mindset is unsustainable and tends to end in failure. Being busy and ‘getting on with it’ are other forms of ‘noise’. Slowing down and fewer distractions allows them to gradually progress towards building resilience and steady transformation.

Lasting healing is about ways to create a daily practice.

Balance isn’t boring, it’s how we recover.

Comment ‘recover’ and I’ll send you a link about massage and pain

I’ve experienced anxiety since childhood and it’s impacted every part of my life.  The reality is, it’s something I’m learning to live with.  There is no cure or magic wand but I can read the early warning signs in my body and notice my habits and behaviours to avoid things spiraling.

It’s like a roadmap of our internal and external physical sensations with landmarks created by our nervous system.  Everyone has their own individual roadmap with landmarks…and they change for our different needs.

We can learn to work out where we are on the map:
To soothe…activate for challenge…or conserve energy.

Resilience is sometimes about rolling our sleeves up..but it’s mostly about tracking our stress levels, recognising early warning signs of overwhelm, knowing when to push and when to step back to guide our body back to a state of balance.

It’s a feedback problem from the nervous system.  It’s lost track of what it’s doing this is why stretching and many forms of body work are rarely effective for chronic tension, because you can’t release what you can’t feel.
