👀Ever felt your body physically vibrating when stress becomes too much?
That shaky feeling, the tension in your body, or the sense that you’re holding everything together on the outside while something feels unsettled on the inside.
🌿Stress can show up physically as well as emotionally. When we experience stress, the body may respond with muscle tension, trembling, changes in breathing or a feeling of restlessness.
Yet, how often are we encouraged to push those feelings aside?
To stay quiet. To carry on. To keep going, even when we feel overwhelmed.
Over time, we can become so accustomed to suppressing what we feel that we stop noticing the signals our bodies are giving us.
❤️But acknowledging what you feel is not the same as being controlled by it.
Making space to notice your emotions, recognise physical sensations and express yourself in a way that feels safe can be an important part of developing greater self-awareness.
🧬From a Network Spinal perspective, we explore the relationship between the spine, the nervous system and how we experience and respond to stress. Rather than assuming that stress is simply “stored” in the nervous system, we recognise that stress involves complex interactions between the brain, body and our environment.
✨You don’t always have to push through. Sometimes, the first step is simply to pause, notice what is happening and give yourself permission to acknowledge it.
👉You are allowed to feel what you feel. You don’t have to pretend you’re fine just to keep going.
💬 Have you ever noticed your body responding to stress before you’ve consciously recognised how you’re feeling?
