Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for yourself is stop trying to fix how you feel and instead just give your nervous system a moment to settle. This is a very simple grounding pause you can do anywhere, even in the middle of a busy or overwhelming day.

Sit or stand in a comfortable way and take one slow breath in through your nose, then let it out gently through your mouth. Do that again, but this time notice your shoulders and let them drop. On the third breath, place one hand on your chest or your stomach and just feel your body being here.

You do not need to visualize anything or say anything out loud. Just feel your weight, your breath, and the space you are in. Even thirty seconds of this can tell your body that it is safe enough to soften.

This is not about clearing your mind or being perfect. It is about reminding yourself that you are here, you are supported by the ground beneath you, and you do not have to carry everything all at once.

Come back to this pause whenever the noise gets too loud. <3

Blessings,
