i was in survival mode for months without realizing it. my 2-week reset to get unstuck.
being stuck isn't a moral failure, it's physiology.
The moment it really hit me was when I was calling a Grab home from a Bachata class… with the felt urgency of escaping a crime scene.
Whenever benign social situations start to feel threatening to me, that’s one of my tells.
My nervous system is dysregulated. Normally I love people, and now people don’t feel safe.
If I was being honest with myself: this wasn’t just a one off. I had been noticing things for a while.
chronic undulating nausea throughout the day
motion sickness that made car rides feel debilitating
a low key hyper vigilance at night- like my brain was resisting powering down.
These clues had been building up for months now and I was conveniently overlooking them.
But something about my “Irish exit from Bachata” moment made it all click.
I couldn’t unsee it.
I’m in survival mode. And I think I’ve been operating from a survival mode baseline for months.
Understandably so.
I had some extreme personal stressors I dealt with end of Dec/ Jan. The stressors were over, but I still hadn’t fully processed the stress in my body.
After that night, I mentally “buckled up” and prepared for a long journey of nervous system healing and recovery.
But to my surprise, after just 2 weeks of prioritizing my nervous system like its my job, I’ve already noticed massive shifts.
Dare I say… that I’m back to baseline?
I hesitate to make too sweeping of claims, but I also don’t want to downplay how different I feel just two weeks later.
Not just night and day different. Polar night and midnight sun different.
In today’s inner circle I walk you through my 2 week nervous system reset.
I share:
the strange and surprising safety signals I’ve discovered
how I’ve started creating safety in a way that’s genuinely fun for my neurodivergent brain
the most common stressor no one’s talking about—and how it quietly derails all your other attempts to calm your nervous system
the four main areas I focused on that to shift back to my baseline
If you’ve been feeling kind stuck, on edge, or like you’re quietly fighting yourself all the time, now is the time to join the inner circle and learn about my 2 week reset.
