Lesson Overview

9.22 – When Your Body Won’t Relax, Even When You’re Safe: Sometimes, even when nothing bad is happening, your body won’t believe it’s safe. Muscles stay tight, breathing stays shallow, and your thoughts keep waiting for something to go wrong. This is your stress system stuck in overdrive from past fear. Begin by noticing your body gently—name the tension instead of fighting it. Use grounding tools like stretching, heat packs, or calm breathing to signal safety to your brain. Small routines—soft lighting, slow music, steady meals—teach your body rhythm again. You’re not broken; your nervous system just needs proof, not words. Over time, those physical signals retrain your brain to rest. Relaxation isn’t weakness; it’s recovery. Each moment you allow peace without guilt reminds your body that calm is not danger—it’s home.
