Check in with your body.

Not your thoughts — your body.

Is your breath soft or held?
Do you feel open or tense?

These are signals, not problems.

Safety isn’t something you think your way into —
it’s something your body feels.

Listen to it.

The gentle, repetitive motion of brushing helps activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, which supports relaxation and feelings of safety. Research also shows that interacting with animals can increase oxytocin (the bonding hormone) and lower cortisol, the body’s stress hormone. 🐶🐱

Simple moments of connection like this can help regulate emotions and create a sense of calm. ✨
