Day 3 ✨ From Dysregulation to Regulation Challenge 💛
Today we’re deepening your awareness by exploring how dysregulation actually shows up in your body, whether it feels like too much energy or not enough. This is where you start building real body literacy. Today’s Invitations ✅ Watch the Day 3 video You’ll learn the difference between sympathetic (“too much”) and parasympathetic (“not enough”) dysregulation in a simple, accessible way. ✅ During your two daily check-ins: Notice if you feel balanced or unbalanced If unbalanced, ask: 1. Does this feel like too much energy? Or not enough? 2. Then gently notice how you know 3. What physical cues? What emotional cues?What mental cues? (One or two words are enough.) ✅ Optional: Look at the cue PDFs You’ll find lists of physical, emotional, and mental cues for both types of dysregulation. Use them only if they support you. ✅ Continue your daily body scan Morning or evening. Just noticing what’s there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reflection Prompt (Optional) If you’d like to share today: - Did you notice a “too much” or “not enough” moment? - What cues told you that? - Anything new you felt during your body scan? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your awareness is meaningful.

Throughout the entire scan, I felt a whirring all around me. I could almost hear it. It was very strange, but it really held my focus because I could feel it so strongly. It actually distracted me from everything outside of myself. Very relaxing, thank you
🧘‍♀️ Thinking of running a 21-Day “Dysregulation → Regulation” challenge
…and I’d love your thoughts before I finalise it 💛 I’m thinking about creating a 21-day nervous system awareness & connection challenge, a gentle journey for anyone who’s curious about understanding their internal state a bit more, noticing what’s happening in their body throughout the day, and exploring simple practices that support regulation and presence. Here’s the rough idea so far: ✨ Structure • Week 1: simple, step-by-step learning about the nervous system + guided awareness practices (spotting sensations, noticing shifts, understanding your personal signals) • Weeks 2 & 3: continued daily tracking + small regulation practices to help you explore what supports you best ✨ Daily Flow Short check-ins, somatic practices you can adapt to your needs, and a daily post where we can share reflections, ask questions, and support each other. ✨ What you may gain from it I cannot guarantee outcomes, but these are a few experiences people often have with this kind of work: • more awareness of how stress shows up in your body • feeling less “in the dark” about emotional shifts • a sense of companionship and shared humanity • a few tools you can lean on during the holidays (which can be… a lot) ✨ I may also choose a few participants who’ve been actively engaged throughout the challenge to receive a small thank-you gift, maybe a custom somatic audio or a 1:1 somatic session. 👉 Would you be interested in joining something like this? 👉 What would make it feel supportive, doable, and nourishing for you? 👉 Is there anything you’d want included? 👉 Or anything you don’t want? Your feedback will really help me shape this intentionally. Thank you for being here 💛

I would love this for myself and to learn skills for my clients. What would it involve over the 21 days?
🌟 NEW 🌟 7-Day Sleep Reset Challenge 💤
I’ve just uploaded a new 7-day challenge, and it’s all about easing tension out of the body, soothing your nervous system, and gently preparing yourself for deeper rest. Each day is just one simple step, nothing heavy, nothing overwhelming. And honestly… I really need this myself. 🙈 I haven’t been prioritising my sleep lately and I’ve slipped into that little loop of: not enough sleep → more caffeine to get through the day → caffeine messing with my sleep (especially if I have it after 2pm) → going to bed later → repeat You know that cycle where your body is tired but wired? Yep… I’m right there. So I’m doing this challenge with you. 🥳 If you’re committing too, say “yes” or drop a sleep emoji 😴 so I know you’re in. Tonight’s Step (Day 1): Choose your ideal wake-up time and bedtime. Then actually put yourself in bed at that time, even if you don’t fall asleep straight away. You can read, journal, stretch… whatever feels soothing. It’s just about getting your body used to winding down at a set time. Who’s joining me? 😴🫶

✨ A Quick Nervous System Tip
If you’re feeling tense, activated, or “on edge,” one of the fastest ways to help your nervous system settle is to gently move your spine. When you move your spine slowly and intentionally, you help stimulate the nerves in your spine and, this release some of the charge that keeps your body in alert mode. More movement → less stored activation → more capacity to self-regulate. And you don’t need a full yoga session. You can do this in 5 minutes, on your bed or even on the floor. Here are the 6 directions of spinal movement I love to do every day (I show them in the video): ✨ Forward (flexion) ✨ Backward (extension) ✨ Side bend right ✨ Side bend left ✨ Twist right ✨ Twist left Move slowly. Match each movement to your breath. Go only as far as your body says “yes.” Let me know how it feels for you if you try it. 💛

Thank you, these will be great to share with the people I work with as well. 🥰
🧘‍♀️ What does rest mean to you?
When you think of rest… what comes to mind first? Is it sleep, quiet time, watching Netflix... or is it something that fills you back up, like movement, nature, or creativity? There’s no right or wrong answer. Rest can look very different for each of us, especially depending on our nervous system patterns and personality. If you could only pick one way to rest right now… which would it be? 💤👇

Time in nature is the best medicine for me! I practice mindfulness and it really helps me after a long day with clients to clear my mind.
