Hey loves, today I want to talk about a different kind of self-care, one that goes beyond bubble baths and good intentions and actually helps regulate your nervous system.
โ
๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฌ:
Our nervous system controls how we respond to stress, rest, connection, and calm. When itโs out of balance, you might feel tense, overwhelmed, or โstuckโ in fight-or-flight mode, even on good days.
Nervous system regulation helps bring your body back into balance so you can rest, think clearly, and show up for the people and things that matter most.

โ
Step outside for a quiet walk. No phone, no headphones; just you and your breath. ๐ณ
โ
Breathe deeply and slowly for 2โ3 minutes: inhale through your noseโฆ elongate your exhale through your mouth or your nose. ๐ฌ๏ธ
โ
Notice sights, sounds, and sensations around you, grounding your nervous system gently. ๐ผ
โ
โจ This isnโt just relaxing, itโs regulating your bodyโs stress response and inviting your nervous system into a calmer state.

Whether itโs music, coloring, stretching, nature, cuddles with your pet. I want to know! โค๏ธ๐
