Your Nervous System Was Protecting You
Your body has always been on your side — even when it felt like it was betraying you. The panic, the freeze, the shutdown — those weren’t failures. They were alarms. When you couldn’t leave, your body found a way to help you survive staying.
You were told your reactions meant you were broken. They never understood that your body was reading danger faster than your mind could accept. You weren’t malfunctioning — you were adapting. That same intelligence can now guide you home.
Reflect:
– What signals does your body send when something isn’t safe?
– Where can you offer gratitude to your body for protecting you?
– What practice today could tell your nervous system, “We’re safe now”?
Slow down. Place a hand over your heart. Breathe with yourself.
✨ Your healing starts when you stop carrying what was never yours.
In November, we break free.
