Nervous System Begging for Break

 

I used to move from one role to the next…parenting, work, cleaning, without ever pausing.
Just go, go, go.
And by the end of the day? I was fried.

What I didn’t realize was how much my nervous system needed space between the “doing.”

Now, I honor transitions.

Not with anything fancy, but with little rituals that help my body exhale like:
⭐ Washing my hands to reset.
⭐ Changing into comfy clothes after work.
⭐ Taking five deep breaths before dinner.

These aren’t chores.
They’re nervous system resets.

If you feel like you're carrying stress from one moment to the next, this is your reminder:
You don’t need more hustle.
You need space to shift.
