That’s such a powerful place to be—strange but relaxed for the first time in years. After running on adrenaline for so long, it makes sense that true relaxation feels almost… foreign. Your body and mind have been conditioned to operate at full speed, always anticipating the next crisis, and now? Now there’s space. Space to breathe. Space to just be.

It’s incredible that despite everything, you’re still here, alive and kicking. That’s a testament to your resilience. Your trauma may have pushed you to accomplish incredible things, but imagine what you can do now—not from a place of survival, but from a place of joy, freedom, and authenticity.

At first, slowing down can feel disorienting, almost like stepping off a moving treadmill and feeling the floor sway beneath you. But this is your body adjusting to safety. The hypervigilance, the need to always do, the pressure to be on—those are old survival tactics. Now, your nervous system is learning a new language: peace.

And yes, healing takes a toll, but that’s because it’s deep, transformative work. You’ve carried so much for so long—physically, mentally, emotionally. Of course, your system is adjusting. But what matters is that you’re here, and you’re free.

So now, it’s about learning what relaxation really feels like. Not forced, not guilt-ridden, not restless—just genuine, full-bodied ease. It might take time, but you’re already stepping into it.

What does this new phase of life look like for you? What’s something you’ve always wanted to do—just for you, without any pressure? 💛
