Yesterday, we talked about something simple but powerful: many of us aren’t stressed, we’re just breathing like life still requires urgency.
Today I want to take that one step further.
Here’s what I noticed in my own body:
Safety isn’t abstract anymore.
It has locations.
It has sensation.
It has familiarity.
For me, safety shows up as:
• breath that moves easily
• a chest that feels open instead of guarded
• a sense of ease that lives in specific places, like walking into my house or sitting in my living room.
That’s when I realized something important:
Calm isn’t a mindset. It’s a felt location in the body.
When your nervous system starts to feel safer, it doesn’t announce itself with big emotions. It whispers through familiarity.
“This place is okay.”
“This moment is okay.”
“This body is okay.”
And once safety has landmarks, you don’t have to search for calm anymore, you know where to return 💚
We’re not rushing calm anymore.
We’re learning It's language.
