When sadness feels heavy in your body, try this đŸ
Your body holds onto emotions - tight chest, heavy shoulders, shallow breathing. Hereâs my go-to method to shift from stuck to strong:
STEP 1: RELEASE THE PHYSICAL đš
1. Take 3 deep belly breaths (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 6)
2. Roll your shoulders back 5 times
3. Shake out your arms and legs like youâre flicking off water
4. Do 5 gentle jumps or bounce in place
5. Stretch your arms up high, then fold down and hang loose
STEP 2: SHIFT YOUR FOCUS âš
Now that your body feels lighter, letâs give your mind something good to hold onto:
1. Name 3 things you can see right now
2. Name 2 things youâre grateful for today (even tiny things - your coffee, your pet, your cozy socks)
3. Say out loud: âIâm doing my best, and thatâs enoughâ
HERE IS THE MAGIC:
When you move your body with intention, you complete the stress cycle your nervous system is stuck in. Then gratitude shifts your brainâs focus from whatâs wrong to whatâs working. Youâre literally rewiring your state from the inside out.
Your body and mind are connected, hooman. Move one, and the other follows. đđ
Try this next time you feel depleted and let me know how it goes!
Codi grows with you đŸ
