Get out of your Head and into your Body

Your brain thinks it’s the CEO of crisis management, but when you're upset, it's more like a hamster on a wheel—spinning, exhausting, and going absolutely nowhere. 🐹💨 The trick? Fire the hamster and call in the body. Instead of overthinking your way into a deeper spiral, shift gears. Move, breathe, shake it out—whatever it takes to get out of your head and into your body. 🏃‍♀️💃 Regulation happens from the bottom up, not the top down.

Example: You order a brand-new mattress. 🛏️ Exciting! It finally arrives, but—oh no—it’s the wrong size. 😱 Instantly, your mind spirals: This is a disaster! What am I gonna do?! Why does this always happen?! 😤 Your stress skyrockets, but instead of letting the freakout take over, you pause. Breathe. Walk around. Maybe even stretch a little. 🧘‍♀️ Suddenly, your brain clears, and the obvious solution appears: Check the return policy. Contact customer service. Problem solved—without the meltdown.

So next time you're stuck in a mental storm, skip the problem-solving frenzy and start settling instead. Your nervous system will thank you. ❤️
