First, sorry for the quiet here. I needed a little time offline to rest, and in that time I learned something that genuinely surprised me: the way I was resting actually has a name. 🧐 They’re called atelic activities and, I had never heard that term before. Atelic activities are things we do without a goal, an endpoint, or a need to achieve something. Just doing it because we’re human and it feels okay to do it. It’s such a normal, ancient, human thing… and yet, when was the last time you really let yourself do something like this? From a nervous system perspective, atelic activities are deeply regulating. They tell the body it’s safe to BE without pressure, urgency, or needing to be “useful” or "perfect". For me, that looked like: 🍲 cooking 🧘‍♀️ yoga 📖 reading fiction 🎥 watching series Nothing 'productive', and let me tell you... it wasn't easy at first. 😅 I’m curious, what’s your favourite atelic activity… or when was the last time you allowed yourself one?

I wanted to let you know that I’m going to cancel today’s Human Design Coffee Hangout as I haven’t been feeling well today. Just listening to my body and giving it what it needs today 🤍 We’ll pick this back up soon, and I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, feel free to post any Human Design questions you have in this thread, and I’ll come back to them when I’m feeling better. Thank you for your understanding, and take gentle care of yourselves 💛

How are you nurturing your nervous system this weekend? I’ve officially given in and decided to watch all the episodes of the first part of Bridgerton 😅 It feels absolutely perfect for this grey, cold, rainy weather. Cosy, with a blanket and hot drink, low stakes. Exactly what my nervous system is craving. What are you doing this weekend to bring a bit more play, ease, or presence into your body? Tell me 💛

Your nervous system isn’t deciding what’s true, it’s deciding what feels safe. And from that place, it quietly shapes: what you notice, what you ignore, what feels possible, and how you make sense of your world. So if something feels heavy, stuck, or effortful right now… it may not be the situation itself, it may be the state your system is in 💛 ➡️ Awareness check-in: - What feels safe in your body right now? - What feels like too much? If you’d like a little help naming your state, the “What state are you in today?” quiz is there for you, it's a quick way to name your current state and discover what your system might need next 😊 Let's begin the week with awareness ✨

How would you summarise your week - in nervous system vocabulary? 💛 - 😵‍💫 Overwhelmed / on edge - 😴 Flat / shut down - 🔥 Activated / stressed - 🌿 Settling / finding calm - 🌈 Resourced / open - 🌊 Moving through a lot ✨ Did you know? When something feels like a “trigger,” it’s not you being dramatic or over-reacting. Your nervous system is simply doing its job 🛡️ Before your thinking mind can even catch up, your nervous system steps in (in about 200 milliseconds ⚡) to keep you safe from a perceived threat. That’s why we often 🚨 REACT BEFORE WE THINK 🚨 When stress or trauma has been around for a while, the system can get stuck in protection mode, even when danger has passed. Connection gets replaced with defence. But the moment you start noticing what state you’re in, something can start to shift ✨ That awareness is where regulation begins. 💛 👉 That’s why I created a quiz: “What state are you in today?” It helps you quickly name what your nervous system is doing and, what it needs next: Safety 🤍 | Space 🌬️ | Release 🌊 If you feel called, take the quiz today ✨ and let me know if it was useful 🙏 👉 And if you want to share, how has this week felt in your body? However it’s been, you’re doing beautifully 🤍
