I was a super high achiever and hyper independent person who THRIVED in chaos. My body never knew what calm was because anxiety has always been my baseline — nervous system in shambles. Now, there’s still some issues but this new life I’m living is much calmer but I’m stuck in a very serious functional freeze now. I genuinely believe that my mind knows what we’re capable of but my nervous system doesn’t actually know how to operate in a state of calmness ..my brain is like let’s go & my body is like girl sit down. so it seems like the confusion causes me to just shut down no matter how badly I want to get back to being my creative, high-achieving self minus the chaos part of it. So, I’d love to learn more about teaching? convincing? tricking? my nervous system into understanding that the calmer version of my life that I’m living now is safe enough for me to function. It feels like that is what’s holding me back from reaching the next level of my life in all aspects.

hi friends! I’m new here but I want to try my best about being intentional in this group! 1. my energy leaked most through self-limiting thoughts, imposter syndrome, and overthinking in general. 2. I’m not sure if I didn’t have any moments where I could receive instead of do or if I didn’t accept them. 3. give your nervous system a fighting chance to rest
