Inspired by the unusually low temps here in the southeast to tuck in, enjoy some soup, and fill a few journal pages.

Here are five ways to show your body that you’re safe now:

1. Create Rhythmic Stability
Your body craves predictability after chaos. Establish simple daily rhythms — waking up at the same time, morning coffee or tea ritual, evening wind-down — that communicate consistency. Routine signals safety to your nervous system.

2. Use Breathwork & Grounding
Slow, intentional breathing (like a 4-7-8 pattern or box breathing) sends a message to your vagus nerve that danger has passed. Grounding techniques such as feeling your feet on the floor, noticing textures, or naming things you can see/hear/smell help bring your body back to the present moment.

3. Engage in Gentle Movement
Stretching, walking, dancing, or restorative yoga allow your body to release stored tension. Movement re-teaches your system that you can move freely — you’re no longer trapped or frozen.

4. Practice Self-Soothing Touch
Place a hand on your chest, give yourself a light hug, or rest your palm on your heart while breathing deeply. This activates oxytocin, the “safety and connection” hormone, reminding your body it’s cared for and no longer under threat.

5. Rest Without Guilt
Survival mode teaches you to stay alert and productive. Safety is relearned through rest — naps, daydreaming, quiet mornings, and even saying “no.” Every time you let yourself rest without punishment, you teach your body it’s finally allowed to exhale.

Healing the nervous system after living in survival mode requires consistent proof of safety, not just positive thinking.
