Follow if you can relate!

I was in the grocery store and caught myself rushing.

And I had to stop and ask… why?

I don’t have babies at home anymore, my kiddos are pretty self sufficient.
No one’s waiting on me.
No one needs anything from me right now.

So why am I moving like I’m late for something?

Because my body lived like that for 40+ years.

Rushing.
Thinking ahead.
PLANNING. Ohhh the planning every part of every thing… people don’t understand 😩
Always feeling like someone needed me.

And even now… when nothing’s actually wrong…
my body still tries to go back there.

That’s my default now because my body grew into it.

So now- I have to catch it.

And remind myself…
we don’t live like that anymore.

If you’ve been in a prolonged period of stress…
whether that was growing up in a certain environment,
a high-pressure job,
a difficult relationship,
or just a period of life where everything felt like a lot…

your nervous system adapted to that.

It literally rewired itself to expect stress, more often than not.
That became your NORM.

So now?

Even when things are calm…
your body runs as if things weren’t.

It still scans.
It still prepares.
It still feels like something is off.

And this is where people get frustrated…

Because they think:
“Why am I still like this?”
“Nothing is even happening right now.”

But I’m here to tell you…

your body isn’t reacting to what’s happening in front of you.
It’s reacting to what it’s been conditioned to expect.

And that’s why it doesn’t just “go back to normal” on its own.

This is just a piece of what I teach inside my Overwhelm Reset…
how to work with your body so you can actually start to feel good again.

If you’ve felt this before… you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

I didn’t used to feel like this.

Honestly, I probably would’ve given anything to feel this way…
instead of living with that constant buzz of stress in the background. For 41 years I feel like my body never truly rested.

I’d fall asleep anxious, wake up in the middle of the night thinking again, crash a few hours later… then get up and do it all over.

Every single day.

Does this sound familiar?

Even in moments I knew were special to me, it was hard to actually enjoy them. Id be there… but not really there. I’d still be thinking and worrying.

I even took a trip to Pittsburgh once and had chest pain the entire week… stressing about the flight home. It ruined the trip.

But this version of me?

She came from learning how to get control of my body
when it wanted to stay in stress mode. Because if your body feels like something is wrong, your mind will go find something to worry about. Seriously!

Once I understood what was actually happening,
I started working on changing my body’s responses. And after living for most of my life in stress… the way my body felt finally started to change.

I can actually enjoy my life now. Im present. And that’s a completely different way to live.

So girl let me ask you.
Are you actually enjoying your life right now…
or are you stuck in your head thinking about it?

There was a time when someone asked me why I always throw up a peace sign in pictures, and I remember getting that sick feeling of embarrassment like “wait why DO I do that?”

I think I mumbled I” don’t know” and just kind of… shrank 😩. And honestly, it wasn’t a one time thing.

Moments like that used to happen to me all the time.

Maybe you’ve felt that too? That quick wave of “oh wait -am I being weird? Should I not be doing this?”

But now? Now I throw up peace signs even more. 😂✌🏻 because I genuinely don’t care what someone thinks about it.

It’s not even about the peace sign. It’s about how I’m unafraid to be me.

I used to feel small all the time. If someone looked at me the wrong way, I felt embarrassed. If someone questioned me, I shut down. From the outside I probably looked confident…

But inside?

I was constantly on edge.

My body was in a nonstop stress cycle. I took everything personally. I was reactive. Snappy. Overwhelmed

Until one day I reacted in a way that made me sit back and think … I don’t want to feel like this anymore.

That’s when things started to change. I didn’t happen overnight but slowly I learned how to get out of that constant state of stress and actually feel grounded and confident.

When your body isnt in survival mode all the time, you stop questioning every little thing about yourself

Now I do things because they feel like me. Not because someone’s going to understand them or because I need their approval.

Just because they’re mine.
✌🏻

Here’s how to stop worrying before it takes over your whole day:

Step 1: Catch it early (this is everything)
Start trying to notice the FIRST change in how you’re feeling.

You pick up your phone… read a text…
and suddenly your mind starts racing.

That little “uh oh” feeling?
That’s the moment you need to get good at identifying.

Because if you wait until you’re already worrying, it’s harder to pull yourself out of it.

Step 2: Say it out loud (or in your head)
“Okay… I’m starting to worry.”

Don’t get mad at yourself for worrying. Just notice that it’s there.
Just name it for what it is.

This STOPS the thinking pattern in its tracks.

Step 3: Interrupt your body
Once you realize you’re beginning to worry,
Don’t try to think your way out of it the problem that’s making you feel that way. Don’t analyze the text!!!!
That’s where people get stuck.

Instead:
Take a slow breath.
Drop your shoulders as far away from your ears as you can.
Feel your feet on the ground or your body sitting in your chair.

You’re telling your body:
“Hey… we’re okay right now. There’s no need to start getting worked up.”

Step 4: Separate what’s real vs what your brain is predicting
What actually happened? You received a text message.
One thing. That’s it. Nothing else is presently happening.

Yet- your brain is doing?
Jumping ahead… filling in gaps… creating outcomes.

Bring yourself back to:
“What do I KNOW is true right now?”
I simply got a text.

Step 5: Give yourself one grounded next move coming from the place of truth

Reply to the text (calmly, not in panic or defense mode)
Finish the task in front of you.
Have the conversation.

Whatever the issue is, worrying wants to pull you into the future.
The practice I just described to you brings you back to right now so you can respond, not react.

Does this make sense??

How to know if it’s anxiety… or your intuition (because they are NOT the same thing!)

Step 1: Check your body first, not your thoughts
Is your heart racing?
Are your shoulders tense?
Is your chest tight?

Your intuition doesn’t usually show up like a fire alarm just went off; Anxiety does.

Step 2: Notice the speed of your thoughts

Anxiety is fast, and it jumps to conclusions. Anxiety wants an answer right now.

Intuition is slower.
It feels more like a quiet knowing, not fear.

Step 3: Look at the facts.

Anxiety builds creative stories.
“What if this goes wrong…”
“What if they meant this…”
“What if I mess this up…”

Intuition doesn’t need a story to convince you.
It’s usually simple. Almost… boring (intuition says “the wind and the smell of the air tells me rain is coming” versus “if I don’t do exactly this, I’m going to get cancer.”)

Step 4: (CRUCIAL) Regulate your body FIRST🔥🔥🔥

This is the step peope don’t understand is the most POWERFUL.

Take 60–90 seconds.
Breathe in and out, SLOWLY. Feel your feet touching the floor. Smell the air.. Do anything that brings you back into the room and focusing on your body, not thinking.

If you start feeling relief, it was anxiety.
If you remain clear just more calm, it was more likely intuition.

Step 5: Ask yourself this one question
“Do I feel like I need to act immediately… or can I sit on this for a bit?”

Anxiety demands action right now- like its an emergency.
Intuition allows space to ponder.

Hopefully this helped you clarify. 🙂
