Regulation isn't something you can figure out in your head. It's something the body learns through experience. You can understand regulation conceptually and still feel rushed, braced, or reactive because the body hasn't caught up yet. That's normal.
Embodied regulation is about recognizing what actually helps your nervous system settle. Not what you think "should" help. It might be slower breathing, movement, stepping outside, silence, warmth, or simply stopping for a moment. These aren't fixes; they're signals of safety that allow the body to soften and the mind to stop searching for certainty.
This step isn't about doing regulation "right". It's about noticing what brings you back to presence without force. Over time, these small embodied moments create stability. From that stability, discernment becomes possible - not as effort, but as natural outcome.
Today you might explore :
- What physical cues tell me I'm becoming dysregulated?
- What simple actions help my body settle, even slightly?
- How does my thinking change once my body feels more regulated and present? There is no urgency here. Embodiment happens at the pace the body allows. What have you noticed about when you are regulated and when you are not? Please share below. ❤️🧡❤️🧡
