Credit to How full is your emotional battery today? 🔋

Trauma healing isn’t about being positive all the time.
It’s about noticing your capacity and responding with care instead of pressure.

Some days you feel strong.
Some days you’re just surviving.
Both are valid.

This “Check Your Battery” tool is a gentle nervous system check-in to help you:

✨ recognise emotional exhaustion
✨ stop pushing past your limits
✨ build self-trust
✨ practice trauma-informed self-care
✨ set boundaries without guilt

If you’re feeling drained, overwhelmed, numb, or emotionally tired — your system isn’t broken. It’s protecting you.

Healing happens when we stop asking:
“Why can’t I do more?”
and start asking:
“What do I need right now?”

Your capacity changes. Your worth does not. 🤍

Save this for later, and come back whenever you need a reset.

Living with chronic pain is quiet, invisible, and relentless. Some days you keep going. Some days you barely do. It affects everything, from simple daily tasks to the dreams you once had for your future.

Living with chronic illness means your body is always working overtime, even when no one can see it.

You’re not lazy, dramatic, or “not trying hard enough.” You’re surviving something most people will never understand.
