What If Your Stress Isn’t the Problem… But Your Nervous System’s Response to It?
For years, I blamed my stress on my circumstances. I thought if I just had more time, less pressure, or fewer responsibilities, I’d finally feel calm.
But even when things got better, my body still felt on edge. That’s when I realized: It wasn’t the stress itself—it was how my nervous system had been conditioned to respond to it.
If your body has been stuck in survival mode for years, even small stressors can feel overwhelming. It’s not because you’re weak—it’s because your nervous system never learned how to reset.
Here’s how I started retraining my body for calm:
1️⃣ Recognizing my patterns – Noticing when my body reacted with tension, racing thoughts, or the urge to shut down.
2️⃣ Using somatic practices – Gentle movement, deep breathing, and grounding exercises to signal safety.
3️⃣ Practicing co-regulation – Surrounding myself with calm, steady people who helped my nervous system relearn safety.
The moment I stopped trying to eliminate stress and started focusing on how my body processed it, everything changed. And the best part? You can retrain your nervous system too… but it starts with one simple shift. 🌿✨
