🚨Your body has its own alarm system.
It’s constantly scanning for threat, even when you’re not thinking about it.

When that system stays active for too long, the signals don’t shut off.
They keep firing even in safe environments.

Your brain gets those signals and tries to figure out what’s wrong.
But when there’s no real danger to point to, it starts filling in the blanks.
That’s where racing thoughts, overthinking, and dread come in.

This is what anxiety often is:
A body that still feels unsafe.
A brain that’s trying to explain why.

Our nervous system’s ability to protect us is a gift.

It’s designed to notice vulnerability and respond quickly, long before we have to think.

When your system senses emotional or physical threat, your brain’s first priority is care through protection.

It instinctively shifts energy toward defence — bracing, guarding, holding.
The body often turns to what it knows best.

The muscles with the strongest neural pathways.
The patterns that have been used before and felt effective.

Even when the original threat has passed, your system may keep these areas quietly “on watch.”

Not because something is wrong —
but because your body learned this was a helpful way to cope.
Over time, this can create a loop where the body stays prepared, even when life is calmer now.
Tension becomes less of a conscious choice and more of a protective reflex.
And often, the first step isn’t asking the body to let go…
but gently helping it recognise that this moment no longer requires armour.

⭐️ Following your birth it’s important to prioritise your well-being, privacy and your baby’s health during this recovery time.

There’s no rush.
A few things you can perhaps put in place -

⭐️Setting boundaries: Establish specific visiting hours or days to ensure you have enough time to rest and bond with your baby.

⭐️Communicating preferences: Let friends and family know in advance about your desired visiting schedule and any limitations you may have during the postpartum period.

⭐️ Utilising technology: Encourage virtual visits through video calls or social media to stay connected without physical presence.

⭐️ Designating a spokesperson: Ask a close family member or friend to relay information about the baby’s well-being to others perhaps on a WhatsApp group, reducing the number of individual visits.

⭐️ Postponing large gatherings: Consider celebrating with a larger group at a later date to allow for a more manageable initial period.

⭐️Enlisting help: Request assistance from friends or family to help with household tasks or help with other children, so you can focus on rest and recovery.

❤️‍🩹 Everyone’s preferences may vary to what they need as you may be feel comfortable with more visitors, while others may prefer limited contact during the recovery period.

🔑The key is to communicate openly with family and friends, set boundaries, and prioritise the well-being of BOTH mother and baby.

Unclench your jaw is a gentle invitation today for you.

So many of us hold tension here without realising. The jaw tightens when the body is bracing, coping, staying alert.

And often, it can stay clenched long after the moment has passed.

Softening the jaw sends a quiet signal to your nervous system that it can begin to settle.

Pair that with slower, deeper breaths — especially a longer, unhurried exhale — and you support your body to move out of survival mode.
Nothing to fix.
Nothing to force.
Just a small release that your system may be grateful for.
You can return to this anytime. 🤍

It is as though you prepared a beautiful home for a long-awaited guest. You cleaned, decorated, laid soft blankets, and imagined the joy of welcoming them through the door.

And then, just as they arrived, something unexpected happened.

Instead of settling straight into the home you made, they were taken to another place first — a place of specialists, bright lights, and constant watchfulness.

It wasn’t what you pictured.

The room you prepared feels too quiet, too empty. Your arms ache with longing.

Yet you find yourself walking a different path: sitting by a bedside, listening to unfamiliar sounds, watching your baby’s chest rise and fall with help you never thought would be needed.
And while this isn’t the beginning you dreamed of, it is still the beginning of a bond.

You discover that even here — in the hum and beep of machines — your presence, your voice, your touch, mean everything.

And when the day comes that you carry your baby home, your story will hold not only the pain of what was unexpected, but also the depth of love that carried you both through it.

☄️Burnout is not a personal weakness. It is a signal.

A signal that human emotional needs have been stretched, ignored, or repeatedly unmet.

☄️Burnout often shows up as exhaustion that doesn’t lift with rest, emotional numbness, irritability, anxiety, loss of confidence, or a sense of disconnection from work, family, or even yourself.

🫙Many people describe feeling like they are “running on empty” — yet expected to keep going.

❤️‍🩹 From a perspective, burnout develops when core emotional needs are not adequately met over time.

These include the need for: • Rest and recovery • Safety and security • Autonomy and control • Meaning and purpose • Emotional connection and support

🌀When these needs are compromised, the nervous system remains in a state of chronic threat or overload. No amount of willpower can override this.

🫶Human Givens sessions support burnout by focusing on what your system needs now, not on analysing what’s “wrong” with you.

This may include: • Restoring emotional regulation and calming the nervous system • Identifying which needs are currently unmet • Rebuilding a sense of control and choice • Strengthening coping resources and boundaries • Reconnecting with meaning, values, and hope
The aim is not to help you tolerate burnout better — but to help you recover from it.
Burnout is a human response to prolonged pressure. With the right support, it can be understood, worked with, and eased.

⚡️Anxiety which suddenly can takes hold — in your chest, in your thoughts, in your body — it’s easy to feel powerless.

But there’s a gentle tool you can try.

🌱Rooted in the approach, it helps bring clarity and calm.
But there is a way to soften it.
To meet it with understanding rather than fear.

The AWARE technique may help.

❤️‍🩹It’s a simple, compassionate way to work with your anxiety instead of against it.
Here’s how:

✨ A – Accept
Acknowledge your anxiety without shame.
“This is a natural response. It’s not my fault.”
You don’t have to fight it — just notice it.

✨ W – Watch
Observe what’s happening in your body and thoughts.
Where do you feel it? What’s the intensity?
Be curious, not critical. Just watch.

✨ A – Act
Do one small thing — even while the anxiety is there.
Get up. Make tea. Step outside.
Every small step is an act of reclaiming your life.

✨ R – Repeat
This is not a one-time fix.
Come back to these steps when you need them.
Each time you do, you’re teaching your brain: “I can handle this.”

✨ E – Expect the best
Know that anxiety will pass.
Even the smallest shift is progress.
You are healing — slowly, steadily, gently.

💛 You are not your anxiety. You are someone learning to meet it with kindness and calm.
